Henry J in the movies
« on: July 06, 2018, 06:56:54 AM »
Watched the re-make of Stephen King's "IT" last night and noticed a Henry J in a field across from the Scary House in the film. If you search Google under Stephen King Kaiser IT, click on images, they have pictures of the car. The film apparently was made in Oshawa, Canada. Pictures also on foap.com. When I can get back and look I'll try to get the photographer's name, as he sells download photos of the car.

I never watched the movie.  Have to look for it on DVD.

Henry is only in the film for a couple brief shots, the photographer did take a few shots of the car, front and back, which are on the image sites

Don't forget the episode of I MARRIED JOAN where she deals with a dented driver side rear fender in the family car; a 1952 or 1953 Henry J Corsair Deluxe.

Hood ornament tip (three finned rocket type) and rear bumper positively ID it as a '53.

Great episode featuring Joseph Kearns who played Mr. Wilson on that Dennis the Menace series.  The episode was directed by John Rich who also directed numerous episodes of The Dick Van Dyke show, Gilligan's Island, All In The Family, The Brady Bunch and countless other TV shows. 
The episode and link to it on Youtube are discussed in this thread:
