It has been over twenty years since I removed the old one and now I am trying to find it. I believe it is a 2-piece part--the exterior stainless piece and the interior half. There were two different types of center posts used. One had the rear view mirror mount on the inner post and the other did not (the mirror mounted above the post close to the dome light). I have the style where the mirror mounted above the post. If that's what you need, then I can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidd65 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Thanks, Jim. I have a line on one but I cannot be sure which one it is. I will find my mirror and then I will take a look inside the car to see which one I need. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillOutThere Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 The aluminum cap and the plastic tube connection are available new reproduction from Studebaker International. Have been for decades. They used to sell them individually. I looked recently (because same as early 50s Mopar also) and it appeared the only way they are sold now is as a set with the vinyl bag (with Stude printing of course). But a phone call to Stude Int'l would definitely be in order to see what they can do, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidd65 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Hey, Jimkf, I hope you see this. Yes, I am interested in the Henry J center piece for the windshield. My rear view mirror is bolted to the body above the windshield with what appears to be a jamb nut. Let me know if you want to sell the HJ windshield center piece and how much you want for it. You are in NE Ohio and I am fifty mile the other side of Seattle WA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are a couple pix of the division bar. Note that one screw snapped off so there will be some sweat equity needed to remove the remains. $35 plus postage.

kidd65 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 You can call me at 360 385-7774 any time today. We were snowed in since Thursday evening. I tiptoed to the grocery store yesterday but I don't have to go anywhere today so I won't. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidd65 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 My apologies. That Henry J windshield center post is actually a 3-piece part. It has the inside trim piece, the outside trim piece and the slide-in insert with the threaded posts for the machine screws inserted from the interior of the car.

jimmyx Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Any chance you might have a pair of headlight trim rings and a pair of vent window assemblies for a Henry J? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that one has a slight imperfection near the bottom. Both just need buffed and installed. $30 plus shipping. Regarding the tail light housings, in 1952 two versions were used. One had them at the end of the fin and one had them attached to the body near the trunk. I have one driver side unit that attaches at the fin. It’s pitted and driver quality at best. For the other style, I have a nice pair. Let me know if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyx Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I have them on the body, so I'd like to see them too if possible. I'll take the headlight trim. Shipping is to 93021. Once we figure out the tail lights, I'll DM you with the shipping info and you can let me know how to get you paid. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to find the forum rules on post count before you can message without any luck. I found something on google that said 14 posts or more, but who knows. If you tried to message me I haven't seen anything so I'm not sure if it will even go through? I really need the headlight trim to complete my '52 so my email is: It's the only work-around I can think of. Thanks for your help!
