Another one of my cars: the Henry J

It’s hard to tell, but this is my ‘52 Kaiser-Frazer Henry J. It was my dad’s robin’s egg blue gennie college car, but it got a 1962 Earl Scheib fire engine red paint job when he made a deal with my aunt that she could drive it if she got it painted. Dang if that [...]
