Vehicle Description
The 1952 Henry J Corsair might have been about offering reasonable
economy car to the masses, but this one adds much more power and
comfort to this custom build. So if you're looking for an
affordable V8 classic with true distinction, read on...
We bet whoever bought Kaiser's economy brand in the 1950s never
thought their budget machines could look this cool. Two-tone with a
pinstripe offers a custom presentation that highlights some of the
best curves in the classic sheet metal. There's plenty of great
bright work on this one, too. It's on everything from the factory
bumpers, to the custom toothy grille. Details complete the full
custom presentation with cat's eye headlights, Plymouth hood
ornament, wide side exhaust tips, and slotted mag wheels.
Inside are more great upgrades over the econobox roots. This starts
with high-back bucket seats up front with a center console
in-between. There's even an AM/FM/CD stereo. But the best custom
touches are reserved just for the driver. The original gauge
cluster has been replaced with wood paneling and modern AutoMeter
and SunPro readouts. Your left hand gets a grippy sports steering
wheel, and your right one may never want to leave the Lokar
shifter.
Under the hood will be your favorite upgrade. The original
low-displacement motor was changed in favor of Chevy small block
power. The 350 cubic-inch V8 looks great with the steel hose and
bright intake radiating from within the tidy black engine bay.
Plus, this motor has all the best go-fast goodies like an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor, performance intake, and Hooker shorty
headers. This feeds a stout TH350 three-speed automatic
transmission on its way to a 10-bolt rear end. Not only can this
custom Henry J handle its extra power, but it's also an all-around
fine driver. That's thanks to features like the Mustang II-style
independent front suspension, front sway bar, and front disc
brakes.
An interesting build using a unique Henry J setup is the kind of
machine that gets all the right attention. So hurry before you miss
out on this affordable custom. Call now!
