Hud- g son-Essex presents this as the only ? S-cylinder, 4-door Sedan with a list v price below the $800 level. On other ? cars, some prices remain with no Q change; others are "advanced. _ * ? ?.?*-* _? ??? Essex is now equipped witn uentux s 4-wheel brakes and a heavier anti- j friction steering"-gear.
