First the good news - Tom and I are the lucky souls that scored the '52 from southern MN for under $600. He may find his way back to the road someday but right now he is contributing parts to our '51 restoration, starting with a PERFECT 4 cylinder air cleaner assembly - still had oil in the bottom!
One thing Tom always wanted was the fin mounted tail lights from the later Henrys. As Fid noted in his post on the ebay sale, the rear fins had been filled in like a '51 but it was poorly done - looks like it can be reversed and the flanges/fittings for the tail lights are still intact.
So now we are looking for a decent set of late model tail light housings for the old boy. With lenses would be great but the housings seem to be the hard part.
Anyone have a pair they would like to sell? Please email me at

Thanks!
Dave and Tom
