Today I did a windshield repair for a customer who works in a section of Oklahoma City called “Gasoline Alley”. It’s in a part of downtown OKC where many years ago you went to buy a car from a dealer among other things. This area is being restored and some of the buildings are being put to other uses, such as offices. Today I did a windshield repair on an Acura TL that was parked inside the “Essex Hudson” building. What was once the show room and I think the repair garage have been made into an indoor parking garage. It has a few signs and memorabilia from the past, a couple of the items I took pictures of.

The Essex Motor Company was a part of the Hudson Motor Car Company was formed in 1919 and was dissolved in 1922.

Years later the Hudson Motor Car Company in 1954 merged with Nash Kelvinator Corporation and went on to be known as American Motors.
