A happy couple posing with what looks like their new Henry Js. Anyone notice any differences between the two cars?

Henry J on the right does 't have chrome grille piece on hood nor chrome windshield surround.

Which means the one on the right is a 4 cylinder model (standard) and the one on the left is a six cylinder model (deluxe).
Normally, the 4 cylinder models did not have bumper guards but, unlike windshield chrome and grill molding, bumper guards were easy to add so some dealers did.

Here is another couple... this one shows two 1953 Corsair Deluxe HJs with sequential serial numbers.  They were purchased in San Diego as he got out of the Navy.  His bride came down to meet him.  They bought two HJs and drove home to Bremerton Washington. 

It so happens I have her HJ garaged in Yakima.
