{"product_id":"the-henney-motor-company-the-complete-history-1","title":"The Henney Motor Company: The Complete History","description":"Initially assembling its own complete vehicles, Henney mounted its \npremium-quality hearse and ambulance bodies on such diverse chassis as \nEssex, Ford, Lincoln, Pontiac, Pierce-Arrow, Oldsmobile, Velie—and at \nleast one Austin. The harsh economic climate of the 1930s brought Henney \nand Packard together, Henney hitching its wagon to the Packard star to \nbecome the sole American professional car builder authorized to use the \nprestigious Packard commercial chassis. This exclusive arrangement \neventually evolved to a point where—in addition to its famed funeral \ncoaches and ambulances—the Henney Motor Company was also building \nseven-passenger sedans, limousines and concept cars for Packard as well \nas special limousines for the White House. After the Freeport, Illinois \nplant closed in 1955, the Henney name was resurrected for use on the \nfirst modern electric-powered automobile in America—the Henney Kilowatt. \nThe only definitive book ever published on Henney and its fabled \nrelationship with Packard, this book is also the story of a pioneering \nAmerican company, its charismatic leaders, wide array of products and \nthe unique segment of the motor industry in which it was involved.","brand":"Ertel Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50556101263640,"sku":"9781583882337","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/9781583882337_bea75976-1690-4385-828f-f917f4a6ea35.jpg?v=1772254878","url":"https:\/\/www.midlifeclassiccars.com\/bs\/products\/the-henney-motor-company-the-complete-history-1","provider":"MidlifeClassicCars.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
