Car pics too cool not to share
- Thread starter Squatch
- Start date
Jacob Henney began building carriages in Cedarville, Illinois in 1854. His company thrived and in 1929, his grandson, John W. Henney, Jr. became superintendent at the age of 29. Unfortunately, carriage building was nearing the end of its era and the company was liquidated. John used the proceeds to start a company that built truck bodies and funeral coaches. They supplied funeral hearses and flower cars until 1954.
Henney introduced a NU-three-way side-loading casket rack in their hearses in 1929 and the company prospered at the expense of their competitors. The company was able to survive the Stock Market Crash with ample cash reserves. John Henney was a good friend of Erret Lobban Cord who challenged John to build a car equally as classy as the L-29 Cord. The result was four special convertible cars that were sold to Henney's friends and large customers.
This car features a 268.6 cubic-inch inline eight-cylinder engine rated at 98 horsepower, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes and rides on an Auburn chassis. It includes a Duesenberg-style front end and fenders as well as a Bijoux lubrication system. Of the four examples built, this is the only example known to survive.
This is a respectable thread about cars, not a save the whales protest.
Looks ugly, could be a fun beater though

That green is ridiculous and I love the split bumper Camaros
Oh I don't know about that... I think I could develope a very strong love/hate relationship with "that" particular Ford set up!!!
Love the thrill of driving the hell out of it and hate how much the repair and fuel costs would be!!!
OP
I almost made the same comment. Glad I didn't, as when I went back and reread it, I saw that he did say "post '50s", which a 1960 surely qualifies as.
*Unless, of course, you're simply identifying the year for him. If that's the case...
