    That is an invented car, not a factory model.

    They never made a wagon nor a production convertible but there are some out there. I saw a post somewhere on the building of the wagon but have lost the connection.

    It was built in Rockwell City, IA.
    This shop has built a Ridler winner, also, and are working on a Ridler contender right now.

    The car was built about 3 years ago by Lakeside Rods and Rides - Roger Burman. The interior was done by Dan Weber in Alexandria MN, who did my Lincoln. The car is a one-off built from a normal 2-door Henry J. Roger also built a yellow Henry J that I saw at Goodguys DesMoines about 10 years ago.

    Great effort
    but I'm not liking it either.
     
  10. Great workmanship, would be cool to build one of those to look like a stone-stock original with the little flat 4, 3 on the tree, and skinny tires.

    So, if I read this right 2 different shops built the same car?
     

  13. If I read right the car was built in one shop and the interior in another. Also theres not nearly enough photos of it for me to pass judgement on it. I would difinely like to see some more photos of it though.

    Here's it done. It's a work of art. Even though it's a street rod I love it.

    Different and obviously quality work. Two thumbs up.

    The rear roof line just looks out of proportion to me, too squared off. It's a nice car, but J's look better as 2 door cars, not station wagons.
     
  21. I thought one of the magazines had done a feature on it. If you
    put Henry J Wagon in a google search under images, it will pull up
    about a dozen pictures or so on it.
