Hey Mark........You didn't happen to buy that Henry J from a Larry or Jerry Smothers, did you? I'm related to them and they live in Louisville and I see you're in Kentucky.......Larry passed away with cancer and his son Jerry owned the car and it had a tilt front end too......




No Big, I got this old car from a couple friends back around 1969. It had been a gasser with a blown Olds for power. This car is actually a Sears Allstate, but there is very little difference from the Henry J.
I have lived in Louisville most all my life, and now am about 35 miles out in the sticks.
If you click on the Jim Marsh link in my sig you can see a picture of the car as it appeared in the 60s and one of the guys I bought it from.
