Default Henry passed away 4/7/1947

Like him or not he certainly was a unique man who left us an exciting legacy.

I think I read somewhere it was a Packard. My late father was born April 7 20 years ealier. Also Jim Clark F1 racer from the sixties was killed on April 7. My fathers birthday helps me retain this trivia.

That was the year I was born in June! Maybe that explains it?
