Rare 1952 Henry J Convertible Kaiser Frazer. #1 of 1. Believed to be a factory prototype. This is one of the rarest cars out there. I bought the Henry conv't from a car collector on the east coast. Car was in storage & collections since 1952. The car shows 5 miles on the odometer. A 1952 Henry J convertible prototype was shown by Kaiser Frazer Corp in 1952. The car was (as history goes) destroyed. Now, either it survived and was kept in storage for years or this car is a perfectly detailed copy of the formed prototype. Either way, its a piece of Automotive History that deserves to be preserved in a collection or museum. Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 When I purchased this Henry the car was in excellent shape and had been stored properly. A local restoration/rod shop went through the brake system, carb, wheel bearings, etc. The car is road worthy. The 6 cylinder Kaiser Supersonic motor purrs like a kitten. The convertible top is in new condition (redone) and works perfectly. The car has a new tonneau cover & a new custom parade boot. The body restoration consisted of removing all trim, top, bumpers, etc and was painted with an original burgundy metallic and 2-toned with a medium dark silver-gray metallic (very striking color scheme). It has 4 coats of clear urethane and was color sanded with 600, 1200, 1500, 2000 grit then wheeled and waxed to a show finish. The grille & bumpers look to have been re-chromed or are in new condition. The rear bumper is shiny & in very good condition. Only the taillight chrome shows fade. The interior and carpets have either been redone or are in new condition. The side mouldings are stainless and are in near perfect condition (some one has added the side stainless. Looks great son we left "em" & 2-toned the Henry). The continental kit on the back looks stunning. The back jump seat folds down and the rear compartment is carpeted and clean. The underside and frame is very solid as you would expect of a car stored since the '50's. Because of my health and inability to travel and take this rare car to a big collector auction, I've decided to try it here on eBay. I set, I feel, a crazy low starting amount of $10,000. The body and paint bill alone was $7500. So it starts at $10K with NO RESERVE. Buy it a super-low price, take it to a Barret Jackson Auction and probably break the bank. Happy bidding - whether its a money-maker or a museum piece - don't let a rare one like this get away...
