Well, this is my new-to-me Henry J and it is beautiful. It was delivered yesterday evening. I've been able to trace the ownership back to Neil Greener who restored the car sometime in the 1960's. Neil claimed that it was the car that was pictured on page 251 in the book, The Last Onslaught On Detroit. It needs shocks and maybe some softer riding radial tires, but overall the car is immaculate.

Congrats on the buy! The J looks like a beautiful car. You won't be sorry you bought that Kaiser!

Looks as good as it always did!
Here it is in my driveway with my '53 in June 1996.
It's not a good quality picture but it is one. My '53 has been repainted and upgraded a lot since then but it's neat have a picture of the two of them together.  The neighbors thought it was cool too!

Wow, nice car! That is a beautiful color. Is the paint job from the '60s? If so, it's been very well taken care of.

Would love to see some interior and underhood pics also.

That original upholstery still looks great in that car.
