Thread: Hi Again!!! Its Here...My '52 Henry J

Tweet

Wow, what a wonderful community you all have here (I'd say you "guys", but I see its not male-exclusive!). I'm touched by all the kind words. Adjusting slowly to the idea of having the car here and calling it "my car" instead of "Dad's car"....though it will always be Dad's car to me really. I wish I'd talked to Dad more about the mechanical aspects of the car, but I'll have to learn on my own. In which case I'm glad I found this place, odds are good I'll have questions!! I'm anxious to drive it but of course its raining today....

PS, Glenn...you're not trying to trade your son for the Henry J, are you? hahaha

ITOLDYOUSO is right.....Way cool car! It screams Americana. I have a buddy that built a Henry J in the same exact fashion only it was painted in a pale green. I can see that you and your father both have great taste and class as well. I'm at an age where I know that the inevitable is creeping up on me.....losing two of the most dear people in my life....my parents. I am sorry for your loss, but can assure you that you have made your dad soo very proud. I am certain! I am sure there will be no lack of help in here when you need it.

Cool car and great that you are keeping it. I'm sure he's smiling! Welcome to CHR

You have a beautiful car Angela.
I took ownership of my Chevy when my dad passed away in 2002. I have to admit that I still call it Dad's car. I have already worked it out with my son to take it from me and keep it in the family. This wasn't my dad's favorite car, just his last. I am looking for a 33 or 34 coupe to be my toy to play with. But Dad's 52 will always be around and treated with respect.

I see no reason why you can't ALWAYS call it 'dad's car'

I was fortunate enough to inherit one of grandpa's guns. A .22 Sport King target pistol. I never refer to it as MY gun.. it's always refrenced as 'Grandpas' pistol'.

RIP our blessed ancestors

Inherited my uncles pump action .22 which was his grandfathers. Love that gun but still call it Uncle Ed's.
