Finally I own a HAMB friendly vehicle! Just picked up this 1951 Henry J. Finally got the guy to budge on his price after a couple of weeks. Pretty much just a rolling shell but is about 90% rust free and original paint. Not sure what exactly I'm going to do to it yet but will get some more pics of it this week. Has a couple dents in it and the doors are creased in the fronts (drivers side the worst). Also the front clip was removed and not put back on right. Never thought I would own one!!!
Cool, I'd say you could do just about anything you decided to on that one mild or wild. I'd be inclined to want to stick a stout little V8 in it and give it the look of a mid 60's sleeper. That little street car that showed up and took the flash and dash big block car's owner's money without a lot of fanfare or g***er look.
hey hey , coolsville , be cool just to do a quick driver , dont touch the appearance , best of luck..
I've always liked these cars. The "stripped down" version was the Sears Allstate, sold through the catalog. It was even more spartan than these guys!
Thanks everyone! Plans are to get it together and drive it for a little bit before doing anything to the body. I've been thinking g***er but have also thought about a 2wd s10 blazer frame . Just not sure yet on what I want to do. Definitely not going to cut up the rear quarters. Mines pretty "stripped down". Has no trunk, glovebox and the vent windows do not open. Still has the original folding rear seat though!
never really liked them but here lately ive startin wanting one. go fiqure~! wish i could find one like that one looks preety clean.
