1917 SAXON MODEL B5R ROADSTAR

Lot # 49 (Sale Order: 49 of 115)      

1917 SAXON MODEL B5R ROADSTAR. Stored In A Humidity-controlled Environment, Presents Well Mechanically. Top Is Functional And In Good Condition. Dove Gray/Mint Green With Matching Wood Wheels. Interior In Great Shape. 1974 National First Prize Winner At Antique Automobile Club Of America. 4 Cylinder Engine Serial Number #365413. Speed Manual Rear End Transmission. RWD. Founded in Detroit, MI in 1914, the Saxon Motor Company produced and sold vehicles through the 1923 model year before financial issues forced its demise. Initially the Saxon was a lightweight, two-seater roadster powered by a four-cylinder Continental engine, with a sedan and six-cylinder motors available in later years. In the company's inaugural year, a Saxon car traversed the distance between New York and San Francisco in a span of 30 days which was quite a feat for the time! In only three years total production of all Saxon models reached 28,000 units, making the company the seventh largest car manufacturer in the United States. This 1917 offered here is an excellent example of an older restoration that has spent years in humidity-controlled storage, presenting well mechanically and in appearance with modest flaws. Appointed in two-tone grey and green livery with matching green interior, this model features a three-speed manual gearbox. Wood spoke wheels matching the green body color are wrapped with whitewall tires. The black top is functional and is in good condition. This 1917 Saxon Model B5R Roadster would be a valued asset to any collector's portfolio and a great vehicle to build a collection around. FUN FACT: George Olsen, band leader for the popular Jack Benny radio program, drove a Saxon and mentioned it on air! This vehicle will sell at public auction on Saturday, June 25th. Location: Barber Motorsports Museum in Birmingham, Alabama, USA. www.hendersonmotorseries.com for all the details.

1919 ESSEX

Lot # 50 (Sale Order: 50 of 115)      

1919 ESSEX, Butternut Yellow Exterior with Black Leather Interior, Gloss Black Fenders, Hickory Wooden Wheels, Older Restoration That Shows Quite Well, Four-cylinder Engi...morene (50hp), 3 Speed Manual Transmission, Runs and Drives This car is an older restoration and is powered by an inline four-cylinder powerplant displacing over 50 horsepower. A three-speed manual transmission transfers power to the rear wheels. Stopping becomes courtesy of rear wheel mechanical brakes. This vehicle is appointed in a light yellow livery with a black interior, both in good condition considering the age of restoration. This is one of the very few Speedsters built, The Hudson Motor Car Company was founded in Detroit in 1909 with the financial backing of department store magnate Joseph L. Hudson. It established a reputation for quality cars which gradually grew more expensive. To broaden its market share, in 1919 Hudson introduced a new light car called the Essex, named after an English county in the hope of giving it a little extra cachet. The name wasn't the only English influence. The Essex's four-cylinder engine had European type? dimensions, meaning a small cylinder bore (favoured in Europe for tax purposes) of 85.7 mm (3.375 in.) and a long stroke of 127 mm (5.0 in.). It displaced 2.9 litres. A further unusual feature was an F-head design with the intake valves in the cylinder head and the exhaust valves in the block. With 55 horsepower, in an era when the Ford Model T had only 20, the Essex was quite fast. It soon established numerous speed and endurance records including a marathon 50 hours in Cincinnati covering a distance of 4,890 km (3,037 mi) at an average speed of 97.81 km/h (60.75 mph). The Essex had Hudson's traditional wet? clutch with holes in the clutch plate into which round cork disks were inserted. They were heat and pressure treated to stay in place. It ran in an oil bath and was smooth and effective if the oil level was maintained. With over 20,000 first year sales the new Essex sold well, although not in the Ford Model T league. Then in 1921, Essex made a pioneering move by offering a two-door closed coach body style priced at only $1,495. While this was $300 more than an open model Essex, it was still reasonable compared with other closed cars. The price of the coach would be reduced to $1,245 in 1922, and ultimately to $895 in 1925, five dollars lower than an equivalent closed car. Although competitors derided the Essex coach as a packing crate on wheels,? it was exactly what the market wanted. It prompted General Motors's legendary executive Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., to remark: Nothing like that had ever been seen before in the automobile industry, and the Essex coach had a considerable vogue.? The moderately priced Essex coach led a revolution. Up to 1925, open cars had predominated, but after that year more closed cars were sold and open cars gradually shrank to a permanently small percentage of the market. For 1924 the Essex abandoned the four in favour of a small high speed? six, again with a European? bore and stroke of only 66.67 by 101.6 mm (2.625 by 4.0 in.), and displacement of 2.13 litres. It was high speed? out of necessity because the Essex had a truck-like rear axle ratio of 5.6:1, which made the poor little long-stroke six spin 3,700 revolutions per minute. And its 28 horsepower was pretty anaemic compared with the lusty four, so it lacked considerably in performance. Since the Essex six paled before the four's speed, Essex decided to launch a sportier model to give the marque some sparkle. This was the 1927 Speedster, which unfortunately was a Speedster in name only. John Bond of Road and; Track wrote that the Essex could reach just 55 mph, and for 3 minutes only.? Essex decided to get more serious about sportiness, and in 1929 introduced the boat-tailed Speedabout that lived up to its name. With the six now up to 2.6 litres (160 cu in.) and 55 horsepower it gave the Speedabout some 70 mph, and a claimed 60 mph (96 km/h) all day.? This cruising ability was made possible by an unusual transmission in which second gear was an overdrive with a higher ratio than high gear. The technique was to start off in first, shift to third, and then back to second. Although unorthodox, it saved the engine from high rpm. The overdrive second eased the strain, but the car was actually faster in high where its 113 km/h (70 mph) required 4,000 rpm. The Essex engine had another unusual characteristic in that its counterweights were bolted onto the crankshaft, rather than cast with it as were others. It was a long time Hudson feature. Unfortunately the Speedabout's introduction was soon overshadowed by the stock market crash and the Great Depression. The result was that few, reportedly only five, were built, making it one of the rarest of cars. The Depression saw Essex sales plunge so in 1932 Hudson launched the Essex Terraplane model with its six-cylinder engine now up to 3.5 litres (212 cu in.) and 90 horsepower.
