Interesting! Be fun to drive around.

Edit: I thought these were Fords at one point, Henry J Kaiser automobiles.

Dad had one of those in the late 50's or early 60's.  If I remember correctly he went from a '34 Ford, which I learned to drive on, to the Henry J then to a '50 Plymouth.  The Henry J wasn't much of a car, and not nearly the car the Plymouth was.

$11,800!?!?!?!?!?

I like it!

Wow, you do not see many of those around these days, last time I heard mention of one would have been in a Hot Rod magazine years ago. Definitely a cool car! It's hard to find them unmolested like this.

Some of what I’ve read agrees with you guys!

Not a real good car and many were hot rodded because of that.

I like it too, would be fun to putter with.

They were light, so stuffing a 265 or 283 under the hood was common.  But I've seen them with lots bigger engines than that.

Ha! Sounds like Wild Willie Borsch and the Winged Express!

AA Fuel Altered was the class I believe.

His crew chief told him don’t shut er down till you hear the guard rail clicking or smell lemons!

He washed the parts in Lemon Joy!

Ha! That’s a good read!

Saw this on FB.  Note the rear axle on the Henry J.  And those rear tires might not be stock.  

Also note what's pulling the trailer.

That’s cool!
