Neat Henry J shot
« on: June 10, 2016, 07:30:50 AM »
Found this pic online: neat shot of Chinatown here in San Francisco – and ain't that a Henry J parked on the left side of the street?

It sure is a Henry J. This picture was in my 5th grade geography book.  I've looked for years to find it again.  Thanks!

This is Grant Avenue, where Sacramento Street crosses, in Chinatown. Looking north toward North Beach (which is the old Italian neighborhood here in San Francisco)...

In front of the Henry, I see a Cadillac, Chevy, Olds, Stude, unknown and then a Buick sedanet. Nothing looks to be newer than maybe 1954.
