My first car as a teenager was a 1951 Henry J.
My uncle bought it new, and gave it to me in 1963
Loved that car. Had the allagator skin look alike seats, flat head six, with 3 on the tree and even overdrive. The transmission got messed up after a few years of teen driver abuse and I ended up junking it for $7.00 The guy even drove it up on the truck. Sure wish I had it back now. Always wanted to put a Chrysler himi and a torque flight in it, plenty room under the hood, and race it at Lions Drag strip in Long Beach Calif.
Those were the days.
