    Make a great Limo. Don't really know anything about it. Located in Orchard NE. Brother says the Phone number on the for sale sign is 402-893-3472. If anyone calls about it, it would be interesting to know the outcome.

    It looks like Henney bodywork and '37 would be the last on GM chassis. After that they strictly did Packards.

    From Coachbuilt.com: "During the 1930s, Brantford Coach & Body of Brantford, Ontario built Henney bodies under license for sale in Canada. By 1936 both Packard and General Motors were offering extended-wheelbase commercial chassis to the professional car industry. The Packard chassis was based on their successful 120 Series while G.M.'s were offered by their Buick, Cadillac, LaSalle and Oldsmobile divisions. Consequently all Henney coaches were built on purpose-built Oldsmobile and Packard commercial chassis from 1936 onward, although Bernie DeWinter reports that they built a single Cord 810/812-based funeral car sometime in 1936-1937. The only other Cord 810/812 professional cars were built by Owen Bros. of Lima, Ohio. 1937 was the final year for Oldsmobile-chassised Henney-Progress coaches as Henney made a permanent switch to the Packard chassis in 1938 and would remain with them until their demise in 1954."
