I don't have one for sale, and they're quite rare. Since some of the most seasoned Henry J owners do not know what they looked like, I'll post this picture of one. I've seen a number of Henry Js on ebay that claim "original jack..." but they don't. The original jack, looks like this and it's pictured in the 1953-54 owner's manual and the shop manual.

and here's a pic from the HJ Owner's Manual

Was the one used by the Darrin the same?
I got this one a few years ago. I see Sunstar models got it right in their Henry J models which is pretty cool.

Lowell, can you give me the overall length of the lug wrench?  I have one and would sell it if its the right one.  I seem to recall it coming to a point on the one end so (I presume) you can get under a wheel cover or hub cap.  What's a fair price for the lug wrench?

So THAT'S what I have! When I bought my Traveler, one of those was in the back seat. I knew it wouldn't hold up the 50 so I never tried...at least I now know what it fits!

I have a line on an Allstate and if it's missing the jack, I'm gonna keep this one. I'll post here if I decide to sell.

Mike, I can't get the length of the handle at this time as the car is in storage 21 miles away. I'll be going out there some time in the next week or so and I'll measure it then.

Just to show everyone, the new Sunstar diecast Henry J with a trunk lid really got it close when it comes to the jack. It was hard to get a picture of it but they did a good job -

They didn't match the Cape Verde green color very well as this one is darker and has more metallic in it than KF's Cape Verde green had. Don't let that stop you from getting one though. They're pretty darn nice, best KF model I've seen of any kind.

They are nice. Every time I'm around the yellow one you got Pete, I'm making the "vroom-vroom" noises while i push it back and forth.
