Ever heard of one of these?<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We received a comment from the owner of this one of a kind roadster. Here&#8217;s what Darren Swanson had to say:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\n<strong>I\u2019m the owner of the 1955 Cougar\/Henry J<\/strong> and wanted to say thank you for sharing your photo of the car.<br \/>\nThe car (body) was designed and built by William Papineau, a teacher (Social Studies) at Bentley High School in Levonia, Mi. He built between 7 and 10 cars total, on various chassis. The first was on a 1940 Ford, another on a Studebaker, two on Henry J\u2019s (this is one of them), and we know that one body was sold to someone who intended to put it on a race chassis and run it at the 1956 Pikes Peak Hill Climb race.<br \/>\nThe Cougar I own was never completed, and sits on a \u201cnew 1951 Kaiser Henry J. The engine and chassis remained at the factory until July 1954, when they were sold to the first owner, Edwin Hasley, a tool and die maker from Detroit, Mi. The body and chassis were \u201cmarried\u201d and remained in the back of the tool and die shop until Mr. Hasley passed in August 1999. My current goal is to try and find other examples of this car, with the hope that we can reunite William, his family, and the car for a brief period of time.<br \/>\nThank you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Darren Swanson<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_25397\" style=\"width: 585px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_0123.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[25373]\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25397\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-25397  \" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"&quot;Dyno&quot; Don Nicholson's former Boss 429 1969 Mercury Cougar\" alt=\"Boss 429, Boss 429 1969 Mercury Cougar, 69 Cougar\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_0123.jpg\" width=\"575\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_0123.jpg 2784w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_0123-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_0123-575x383.jpg 575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-25397\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Dyno&#8221; Don Nicholson&#8217;s former Boss 429 1969 Mercury Cougar now owned by Ed Meyer, Huntingtonberg, IN.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_25398\" style=\"width: 585px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_0136.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[25373]\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25398\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-25398  \" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"1968 Camaro L-78 396\/375\" alt=\"1968 Camaro, 1968 Camaro L-78, hot rod camaro\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_0136.jpg\" width=\"575\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_0136.jpg 2784w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_0136-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_0136-575x383.jpg 575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-25398\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">1968 Camaro L-78 396\/375 bought in 1983 by Jim McMillian, sold and found again in 2006, restored by Jim&#8217;s son, Taylor who currently owns it.
