(Pics) 1951 Henry J compact Kaiser
For '51 Kaiser came out with it's low-priced compact car, the Henry J. Sales were good for the first year, but rapidly dropped off as the demand for such a car was met quickly. SunStar has done several great versions, in stock and drag-race forms, of this fascinating smaller car.

I believe I've even seen a Taxi version of this. Great shots and photoshop work too. My Dad wanted to make a gasser out of one of these, even bought an engine from GMP, never got past that part of the project, then the model maker made one, ha!

No Dennis, Dad's project never progressed past the thought of it and buying an engine to use for it. Several model sites will have pictures of the ones factory made. Legacy may, American-Excellence and Diecastmodelswholesale or any dealer for Sunstar.

Nice purchase, I haven't bought a drag car in a while and I do love gassers. Dennis are you trying to get me to make a purchase? It's working!

That's a work of art all of its own.
