Terraplane Commercial Vehicles<br />

1933 Essex-Terraplane Series K -<br />

Panel Delivery<br />

Another 1933 Panel Delivery van, this<br />

one being operated <strong>by</strong> Seneca Corp., according<br />

to the logo on the panel just behind the<br />

door.<br />

According to Butler this model utilized<br />

Terraplane sedan front doors and cowl while<br />

the windshield header retained the visor from<br />

1932.<br />

Though this model was shown in sales<br />

literature it does not appear in price and<br />

weight listings. Given the lower roof line it<br />

was not very useful <strong>for</strong> vertical loads, but<br />

would have been very suitable <strong>for</strong> other specialized<br />

delivery requirements, such as caterers<br />

and florist deliveries.<br />

1935 Terraplane Series 51 G - Panel Delivery<br />

<strong>The</strong> 1934-1935 <strong>Hudson</strong>’s and Terraplane’s are<br />

considered <strong>by</strong> many to be the most beautiful of all<br />

cars built <strong>by</strong> <strong>Hudson</strong>.<br />

<strong>The</strong> gently flowing lines can be seen here on this<br />

Sedan Panel Delivery. Floor dimensions <strong>for</strong> cargo<br />

were 72 inches long x 50 inches high. It was built<br />

on the Series 51 G chassis of 112 inch wheelbase<br />

and weighed in at 2900 pounds. Carrying capacity<br />

was 1500 pounds and it cost $675.<br />
