    You found it in a ditch? Must've fallen out of the Back of a Scrap Metal Truck.

    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! :D :D :D
