'53 Henry J: the J stands for Junk
Sunday-October 14, 2007
Now don't get in my face, Kaiser-Frazer fans.
I'm only referring to Tommy Lee Byrd's rusty 1953 Henry J in the October 2007 issue of Rodder's Digest.
He writes about buying his '53 H-J and allowing the body to gracefully continue to oxidize naturally while he fixed up what was underneath. He would rather enjoy it in its current au natural state than turn it into a trailer queen. Besides, he and his dad have two more Henry J's that they're restoring at the shop.
I've said it before; i'll say it again. Sometimes the only way these cars get saved is if somebody customizes them or rods them out. Kudos to Tommy Lee for keeping any Kaiser-Frazer on the road.
