-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

car and country is correct … ! that was quick ..year and model wrong

anyone want to guess the details ?

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

I restored cars for a living for about 10 years, how about 1952

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

a few of these were around when I was a kid … not sure how many were ever made … Henry J’s are one of my all time favorites.

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

52 is correct … now the model

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

vagabond 2 door sedan

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

you win !! vagabond is correct
Vagabond 4 cylinder model

cut and paste from the photos website …

The 1952 Henry J Vagabond, referred to as “Early issue” in much of the factory literature, was simply those approximately 7000 1951 models that had not been sold at the end of the 1951 model year. In order to sell these cars, KF marketing came up with this idea – they changed the plastic trim on the hood ornament from clear plastic to black plastic, added Vagabond scripting (left over from the 1949 and 1950 Kaiser Vagabonds) on the front fender and then added a Continental spare tire on the back. I have since found that not all of them have this feature. I currently own one that does not. Richard Langworth’s book “The Last Onslaught On Detroit” states “The promoters took off on it, though, calling it ‘America’s finest sports car’ – apparently the continental spare with which most were equipped accomplished the necessary transformation.”

Aside from these changes, the 1952 Henry J Vagabond was the same car as a 1951 Henry J and just as the 1951 cars, it was available in 4 and 6 cylinder models. Although both models were simply badged “Vagabond”, the six cylinder version is often referred to as “Vagabond Deluxe.”

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

You got me. New to me. I’ll guess “Lagonda”

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

I only road in a Henry J a few times and in it was in the early 70’s … a kid in my high school found one in a barn, stock, ok to rough shape not running. He got the motor running. Cool old car. Got about 27 miles per gallon I think.

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

Lagonda is right … that was too easy … hmmm … ok.. Make and year

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

1987? lagondawagon

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

On almost any photo on the internet you can put your mouse curser over the photo and right click and
scroll down and click copy image location

try it on your avatar … I’ll do mine

right click and then pick copy image location

put tour curser in the posting where you want the photo to be inserted

and hold down the ctrl key and then press the v key

http://lumberjocks.com/assets/pictures/members/80064-50x50.jpg?1249527550

thats what you get on the page …. if you stopped now it would be a linked photo … clickable, but not visable

the way to do it is start a line with a ! and click ctrl v and past the link … then end the line with another ! ... I’ll do it
! http://lumberjocks.com/assets/pictures/members/80064-50x50.jpg?1249527550 !
notice it is still a clickable link … thats because I put extra spaces on the front and end of line
here it without the spaces

Here’s one.

-- Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can walk.

DaveR didn,t Homer simpson design that one? degoose is that an XL ford falcon? around the early 60,s maybe 65, I,m a bit rusty on my ford history, but not as rusty as most of those old falcons!

-- if the hand is not working it is not a pure hand

thanks dan ,

he posted the dyna-panhard junior for me ,
my step father had 2 of them ,
upstate new york in the middle of winter ,
it was my job everyday to take out the engine after school , and the transmission of one of them ,
as he would change the spyder gears in first gear so he could use it to go and make minuteman missille (?) silos .
it seems all he did was strip that gear every time he drove one of them, he had someplace to get parts for them ,
but for me it was really a chore , as sometimes i had to work in the open garage in 30 below (f) weather into the night by myself .
the car was really incredible , it had a two cylinder opposed air cooled engine ( like those model airplanes ),
the transmission was the size of a decent watermellon and 4 speed front wheel drive . 2 seater , convertible,
the trunk was accesed by tilting the bucket seats forward .
it did speeds of 80 mph . i really like this car , but sure got tired of working on metal ( no gloves ) in the weather
so he could take it for a spin and blow another gear . i think he finnaly bought the last of their gears , as he
got tired of them after 2 years of some times driving them , and of course i got thrown out for eating to much , and went to florida to find a new carreer . pumping gas , washing dishes , and even wet sanding cars ( you should have seen the swirl marks in the sun , why i hate sanding to this day ) . oh well , that’s another story .
thanks again dan
,memory lane for all here !

-- david ,new mexico ,allheart

Wow DAVE … that one looks like a custom Lincoln … got any clues ?

degoose … it is a ford falcon ranchero .. I’m guessing 63

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

Oh and by-the-way … David

That link you sent me to the Panard wouldn’t work, as described, in my little PC TECH for ctrl v etc … I ended up doing a ctrl printscreen and pasting the entire screen into photoshop, cropping it and uploading it into photobucket.

Like I mentioned in the TECH “almost any” photo on the internet will work, but there are codes people can put into their websites that prevent such things … Also any of my suggestions will work on a PC … no clues about a MAC computer

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

Anyone have any more guess’s on the black wagon ?

I ding-dong double dog dare YA !

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

Dan,

How about an International-Harvester truck engine? Nitrogen-filled tires? A single door opens in the rear and you enter between seats that are slung so they tilt as you go around corners. Solid steel side rails for crash protection. 1967.

Enough clues? ;)

gee dan , i blew it !

while trying to post , the name got stuck in the mesage ,
everytime i came back to insert i had a different same page here ,
and would start again ,
i erased all the info on the pages i was on , but must have missed this one.
we got sandbagged by yorkshire stewart , as he said he just read the answere .
but a deal is a deal ,
and anyway we learn is good ,
so i vote to give him the points he deserves !

-- david ,new mexico ,allheart

Is it a 1967 Mohs Ostentatienne Opera Sedan

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Good job, Jim. Have you ever seen one? Very comfortable seats although I’ve never been in one while it was moving.

-- Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can walk.

I think there was one at car auction I attended and latter in a photo .From it’s looks you might think it was from Russia but I think it was made here in the USA.

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Yes. They were built by the Mohs Seaplane Company in Madison, Wisconsin.

Bruce Mohs designed quite a number of interesting vehicles.

Oh no; I can’t accept them; it wasn’t fair and square. Give them to a worthwhile charity! [g]

Both are the same but from different years. The top from 1925, the lower one from 1923. the seat on the side was known as the “mother in law seat.”

Ok, with the vette. She’s about an 1984, American made, looks like a convertable with the top half way down. Also looks like twin V8’s and I’m guessing a rather nice shaped gas tank mounted in the rear. I hear these are really expensive to own, high maintinence and can get you in alot of trouble.
