Need help identifying 1920s four door sedan

Can anyone identify this 1920s vintage four door sedan? The photo is
dated July 1931 and was taken either in Connecticut or New York. The
unusual thing about the car is that all doors, including the front
doors, are suicide doors. A close-up of the rear wheel hub is also
shown.

Thanks in advance.

The body resembles a 1926 Hudson except for the headlights. 1927 was
the first year Hudson used bullet-shaped headlights.

The hubcap says it's an Essex. probably around 1926-29.
