The Willys-Overland company produced both brands and could have very well used the some of the same components on both cars. The curved dash sure looks the same on both bodies.
WOW, that's a unique body style!!! Not to be sacreligous, but if you cut about 18 to 24 inches out of the body, you'd have an incredible modified
I heard of a guy who got fired for snagging 2 12 packs of beer from the dump. (Yeah, must've hurt like hell when he passed 'em) hardy, har, har!
From Justacarguy. Sunday, January 10, 2010 Ever heard of Norm's Henway? I just found it in the late 70's Hot Rod I can't find where I pulled the above image from, Brandon Flannery took the photo, and says the image was probably from the HAMB / JalopyJournal It's not like Gray wrote, (click on the image for a very large readable size) this wasn't a restoration, the Henway is a creation. A play on the old joke, what's a Henway... about 3 pounds. The rest of these images are from the Jalopy Journal and obviously not the same vehicle
Kinda what I thought. Pretty cool find regardless! I'm not sure what I'll do with the parts, they may head to a swap meet with me next month. If it doesn't sell there I may hang on to it for a modified or speedster project.
Great thread! You guys know you would never get this question answered this quickly on an "Antique" website. The power of the HAMB!
Some of the "orphan" makes were more assemblers than manufacturers. For instance the same Continental and Lycoming engines were used by many different makes. It's very possible that some of them outsourced bodies and that the same or similar body may have been used on more than one make. In any case, it's amazing what's still out there, good catch, glad you got it before the bulldozer did.
The Henway is an original. I got a photo of me with Norm next to it in July of 2006. The wood work and rivets are unbelievable. Pictures don't do it justice. Behind me is a giant pirate/treasure chest trailer with exquisite wood work. Norm is a fun guy to hang out with!
