It's a Henway and it sure is rusty alright, but
it's not just *any* rusty old Henway cowl! No
way! That cowl is from an extremely rare and
valuable '31 Henway "Flaming Commode"
'Super-Double-Deluxe, 9-passenger,
close-coupled coupe
'! Amazingly too, much of
the metal under all that rust still appears to
be factory original too!!! A particularly noteworthy
and highly extraordinary identifying feature on
this cowl too, is the 2-inch or so diameter round
hole located in the center-right side of the firewall!
That's the original mounting hole for a bomb
solenoid, which indicates the car was originally
equipped with the one the rarest of all early-30's
Henway options. the mercifully, infinitesimally rare
and tragically-ill-thought-out, Acme "Blast Me
Clear of The Wreck
" factory ejection seat
option!!! Ya' can't hardly get a cowl that's much
more rare and valuable than that!
