This video was a lot of fun to do! The Henry J was always a cool little car and you do occasionally see them, but rarely do you get to see an Allstate. Having both of them sitting right beside each other and getting to compare them on one video was super cool!!
Let's take a look at these amazing pieces of automotive history!!!!!!
The Harold Warp Pioneer Village complex comprises 28 buildings on 20 acres housing over 50,000 irreplaceable items of historical value, restored to operating order, arranged in groups and also in the chronological order of their development.
There are 12 historic buildings around the circular “green”. There’s a Frontier Fort, a real honest-to-goodness Pony Express Station, an Iron Horse, and a home made of sod. There’s a general store and a toy store, chock full of all the goods from yesteryear. An original art collection including 25 Currier and Ives prints, 23 Jackson paintings, and the largest single collection of Rogers statues.
You can see a priceless steam carousel, 17 historic flying machines and marvel at 100 antique tractors. See the world’s oldest Buick, a 1902 Cadillac and a 1903 Ford, both designed by Henry Ford, plus 350 other antique cars, all displayed in their order of development.

When I was a child my mother had a Henry J with a radio, I remember the cute little white knobs it had. It was the best running reliable little car. It was the first car with variable speed windshield wipers and they were adjusted with a little white knob in the top center of the dash. Instead of low medium and high speed the knob made a smooth transition from slow gradually up to fast wipers. It was peppy and comfortable.

Cool cars. I remember them both! By the way, the Henry J. did have a heater in it. It's funny to think that heaters were optional equipment at one time!

FYI, the Allstate could not be ordered through the Sears Catalog. It was listed in the catalog but you had to go to the store to purchase one and they were only sold in a very few stores, mostly in the south. The tail lights on the Allstate in this video are after-market units called "Finliners" available from United Marine. A very rare car and so cool to see one in a video!

It took some digging, due to the recent Allstate Insurance hood ornament ad, but yes, that hood ornament was added by Alex Tremulis, who was asked by Sears to tweak the Henry J's styling for the Allstate.

The hood ornament and 'Henry J' script are both missing on the Henry J in this video as all Henry Js had a standard hood ornament and script. You can kind of see when the camera glances across the hood that there were holes that were filled. The Henry J is light blue on the dash which means it was light blue all over originally. The fact that the rubber around the windshields is painted indicates a repaint as that was never painted on these cars originally. Regardless, a '52 Henry J Vagabond is the rarest of all Henry J models with only around 3,000 four cylinder models produced. Great video to see these two together. The hood ornament on the Allstate is indeed original.

Very cool video Chad! I have never seen an Allstate. So if you wanted a “nice” Henry J you have to buy an Allstate from the Sears catalog…I was born in the wrong decade!!!!

The Henry J could be ordered with anything the Allstate had and vis-a-versa. Just depended on how much you wanted to pay.

The Henry j being a vagabond meant that the rear seat folded down and you could load long item’s through the trunk into the back seat cargo area, kind of like a desoto carry-all, or dodge/Plymouth business coupe

That feature had nothing to do with it being a Vagabond. The 1951 Henry J standard and deluxe could be ordered with the trunk lid and folding seat feature. The '52 Henry J Vagabond was a left over '51 that was not sold by the end of the model year so KF reserialed them as '52s and called them "Vagabond" models. Some '52 Henry J Vagabonds had a fixed rear seat that did not fold down. The Kaiser and Frazer Vagabonds were all hatchbacks with a folding rear seat.
