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

Tweet

It seems that personalized plates, or a name lettered on the car would be appropriate.

Let's see....."Family tradition"...."The heirloom"...."Pop's Pride"...."Family Ties"...."My Inheritance"...."Hand-Me-Down"...."Family Obsession"....etc. :-)

Henry Js were most often regarded as candidates for a drag car. That would explain the big tires.

You and your dad were both lucky!

The area immediately above the front wheel well lips is just begging for one of the offerings from HOTRODPAINT. The front fenders or bottom of the trunk lid is where we put names when I was a kid (in the 50's). Bless you child for not liquidating one of your father's cherished posessions. You're special.

As far as the back window, a simple "In memory of John Doe, 19XX-20XX" or "In memory of Dad, 19XX-20XX" would be quite acceptable.

As far as the tires, it's fitted with "bigs and littles" in the tradition of hot rods since the beginning....it's part of the "eyeball" that makes the car so aesthetically pleasing.

How about "Thanks Dad!"

Sweet ride....Good to hear that you worked to keep it and even made sure it had a nice place in your garage.....'Keepin' the dream alive'

I could take it to Good Guys...hell, maybe I will. I'm supposed to be on vacation w/ my Mom over the 4th.......

But it needs to get there!

Are you going to take it to the Goodguys event in July? Edd
