Just got a 1954 Henney and lookin for someone that knows these cars
Interesting-looking vehicle. Congratulations on the purchase. This car, according to McPherson's Henney book, is a Model 5491 and, being a Senior model, is mounted on a Packard Series 5413 commercial chassis. It had a suggested retail price when new of $7,325 and would have been one of 205 Senior professional cars built by The Henney Motor Company in 1954 - their last year of production. The car deserves to be properly restored and would be a welcome and most apprecaited sight at a PCS meet. There are people that would be more than happy to help you in getting this car restored and back to "as new" condition. Please keep us all informed as to your progress.
Will do. thanks!Contact Brady Smith in Flint, Michigan. As I said, he's got a beautiful 1954 Henney-Packard landaulet that has been undergoing a complete restoration and is, I understand, nearing completion. He would be able to give advice, direction and assistance and he's a really great guy. He owns the Plumb-Smith Funeral Home in Flint.
Cool! I was just going to try and find you! Its funny you popped up at the rite time! Do you know the best place for finding pics or anything useful for these cars? Its pretty much a 100% car which is nice.This was the 53rd Senior Car built by The Henney Motor Co. in the 1954 model year out of a total of 205 sold. (They actually manufactured 230 but destroyed 25 that hadn't sold when they closed up.)

I was looking at that earlier debating buying it or not! I guess I will buy it.An excellent source for information and photographs of this as well as all Henney products is McPherson's book - The Henney Motor Company: The Complete History. It is available at a special price through the PCS at Amazon.com. This book has all the Henney models and prices listed as well as the different Model numbers and production statistics. Almost everything you would ever want to know about the cars and the company.
