Please be nice! Just starting to really wrap my mind around the idea of owning this car.



'52 Henry J by Kaiser. It was my Dad's, aquired in 2006 as an empty shell....



And restored/re-vamped with a friend. Dad passed away last year after a 5 month battle with pancreatic cancer, and while I think he was worried to "burden" me with it, I convinced him to keep it and leave it in the family rather than sell it. He showed it a few times, got a few awards at local shows in Northern Iowa, but didn't get to do a lot with it before he got sick.

Its been in storage and been maintained by a family friend since. I've actually not been able to bring myself to even go see it, but just bought (my first!) house with a brand new 2 1/2 car garage so I could bring it here (I'm about 100 miles from where he lived) and start to get to know it and eventually show it in his honor.

I've been looking around at places to get to know people into these kinds of cars (my appreciation is great, been going to shows for years, but never owned my own car like this) and am hoping to learn a bit here.

So hello! Any other Henry J owners around?
