Properly done and painted ... only a AACA judge will be able to detect the difference between a Henry and a Brookville. The main easily seen differences I see so far are the Cigar lighter hole in the dash ... Brookville left it off ... and the glove box door ... it is cut and made different on the inside ... where the ash tray goes. I about cried ... when I had to cut a original dash for the A/C ducts ...



Look at the top dash rail, in the center ... you can see the hole for the cigar lighter ( the first Ford to have a lighter ) ... I do not know WHY they left it off ... it would have been easy to do.



They must have really gotten busy building the 3W's ... Kenny Gollahon ( the owners son ) told me at Louisville that the production would be 2 to 3 bodies a week ... 4 if they had a real good week.

They did not have the arm rests done yet ... I wonder how they will look?? The originals are very difficult to find ... ( thankfully I found a set ... )

Anyone have any pics of this new Brookville?
