1951 Henry J - Ebay

[joefrazer]

Found this car on Ebay. Check out the unusual tail light assemblies. It's a 51 but someone cut in aftermarkets assemblies. Has anyone ever seen this style lens?

The lens is '53 Plymouth -

I've seen them installed on the later Js a few times.
What I find interesting about this car, the tag lists it as "Model K514" with AG 8.  Accessory Group 8 did not include a trunk lid and this car has one.  Doesn't look like the tag had been changed. Also the description in the one picture was cut and pasted right off my Henry J site I had before Comcast removed them all. Anyway, it's been on ebay before, I don't remember if it sold the last time. Trim code 4425-5 is not listed in LOOD or the current KFOC Handbook. Based on the fact that the molding around the column is the same color as the dash (not gray or tan as most are) it was likely an all vinyl trim code. Paint code was Caribbean Coral which matches what's on the dash. A great color. The current color is nice too. Looks like this would be a good cruiser for someone.

What's up with all the red zip-ties on the plug wires

It looks nice, but bucket seats with newer upholstery?  It is a good modified car so anything is possible on this car.  Also, the location of the tail lights indicates this "1951" has 1952-54 Corsair platform quarter panels on it.

I think the zip ties are used to mark the plug wires #1, #2, #3, etc. as the ones in view are number #2, 3, and 4.
