Title: Henry J padded dash?
Post by: Mike Richards on August 01, 2017, 05:44:53 PM

There's a padded dash on EBay Motors right now listed as Henry J, I'm not an option expert, is that a real option?

I have a padded dash on my 54 HJ. I believe they were standard on the Corsair Deluxe in 53 and 54. Fid, our resident expert will know for sure.

The padded dash was standard on the '53 and '54 Corsair Deluxe. The seller on ebay claims it's from a '52 but that's not possible as not only was it not available  on a '52, it could not be installed in one because the wiper knob sits top center of  the dash on a '52 but not on a '53. I never saw one with that material and the parts manual does not list one with that material so it is likely something someone fabricated using KF vinyl. The metal trim is from a '53 Henry J. Caveat emptor.
