Henry J & Allstate Forum / Re: Henry J Prototype??

The Henry J next to the AMP car is my Henry J, its been on loan to them for a couple years now. Tom did pass recently, it was always fun to visit him and talk car stuff. I worked a little on the AMP car with him, very little, but he did work on that car for a long time, because it was so badly burned. I remember the front grille being rusted really bad and riddled with holes. The place that redid it must have used 20 pounds of chrome to repair it. It was running and drivable again, here is a picture of Tom and I testing it out after setting the timing right before it went off to the museum. The picture Fid took is 2004 and this one is I think 2008.

Nice Allstate Lowell,  cant say I know what that part is but it looks like a parking brake splitter for something.  As for Wheel covers I've been looking for 1 for a long time. They have shown up now and then typically 3 and there like me looking for one more. When that fiberglass car people kept thinking was some prototype Darrin was out there, he had four of them!  But would not let them go, I have given up for the most part since then.

Looks like there was 6 Allstate's and 11 Henry J's at that meet.   It was epic with a great boat tour and fireworks in Chicago later that night.
