I have a pic of a HJ wagon and does anyone have any other pic's or info on it or other HJ wagons. Thanks.
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 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.
That is a really nice custom wag. I made a convertible "J" for my self back in the late 1950's,it was in CarCraft Jan 63[shot in 62]
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.
I sent an email to Roger at Lakeside and he sent me pic's of the wagon and the other HJ the fellow owns, Merry Christmas.
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.
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. John
