All vinyl Henry J for sale in WS
« on: December 02, 2015, 09:12:13 PM »
I remember seeing this car in Livingston, Montana back the late 90s.  My dad saw it in AZ a few years later.  Then I ran into a fellow here in Mpls who told me it was in Wisconsin. Looks like it still is. It seemed a pretty decent car when I saw it with original red vinyl in it.

The interior is all vinyl rather than vinyl with cloth inserts.

Nice looking car from the pictures.  However I am somewhat curious since I can see only one pedal which appears to be the brakes but no clutch or gas pedals and this is definitely a standard transmission.

The other two pedals are visible in the other pictures.  The clutch pedal is about half way down which is typical of a HJ - the clutch pedal seldom returns to the "home" position. Looks like it even had a vinyl headliner (which may no longer be the original) which is rare in a HJ.

The headliner looks like the same color and material as what's in my 50K Traveler.

Notice that the windlace is gator.
The photo is a similar car that I was not quick enough to buy 25 years ago in SoCal. It had no glove compartment but the gator covered kick panel had a large pocket. I will not swear to it but I vaguely remember that the headliner was also gator.
