They made professional cars and he****s. Some of the later ones shared some parts that interchange with Duesenberg.
John Henney use to build he****s, limos and ambulances in Freeport, Ill out of production cars. Before that he built horsedrawn carraiges and sleighs.
Hey, The John W. Henney Company of Freeport, IL. built motor he****s and ambulances from 1916 on. Looks like ya got the "remains" of one there. S****ey Devils C.C. "Spending A Nation Into Generational Debt Is Not An Act Of Comp***ion!"

It's rare, but I don't know if it is a desired item worth a lot of dollars. Some skilled wood worker could make a nice Depot Hack body and have something different.
Henney built buggys beginning about 1893, made he****s and ambulances until 1954, mostly on Packard ch***is (commonly called Packard-Henney he****s). Here's a pic of one like you found
My buddy who is a funeral director has a picture of one just like that 1893 hanging in his office. Those are just too cool
Well kids i have a 26-27 willys overland coupe and this would seem to be a likely companion to the rust pile,,
OK, so................... A Henney is the deluxe model of a Henway................. That better?? Doc.
This is wooden bodied he**** here in Anderson that appears to be from the same era the one in arkiehotrods first photo.HRP

Heck i have some old aluminum boats ...AND SOME LONG DROP FUEL TANKS Stop me stop me now
Henney built a ton of ambulances and he****s on Packard ch***is. They also built for others,but Packard tried to lock them up. There's a really good article about them in a very recent Packard Cormorant-the magazine of the Packard club. Not sure just what issue but i just read it.
The he**** I posted is built on a Dodge Brothers ch***is,,, This is the mfg tag on the wooden body,, HRP In 1922 the Williams Carriage, He**** and Auto Co. built an 8-column arched center carved-panel he**** in light-gray that included disc wheels on an unknown ch***is. 1923 and 1924 8-column he****s were available on Dodge ch***is and featured gl*** backed by ray-textured d****ries between the columns. Also built a conservatively carved 8-column he**** on a 1917 Ford Model T ch***is that still exists today at the Flying W Ranch Museum in Sayre, Oklahoma. Located at 2212-14-16 Washington Avenue, St Louis, Missouri.
A friend of a friend had a Henney which he sold to settle his divorce. He thought it had originally been a he**** as it had evidence of a side door for "box" loading. It had been converted into a pickup, of sorts, and had a waterpump installed to make it into a fire truck before he bought it. He sold the pump and kept it as a pickup. I only saw it on the day he sold it. The front fenders were impressive as they seemed to be a quarter inch thick! The entire vehicle seemed very truck-like. If it was based on the early Packard I now understand why it was so heavily built.
