Sorry that I don't have anything meaningful to add about a Henney window regulator. But I do want to note my admiration for any 76 year old vehicle still doing the job it was built to do.

I'd also hope that you know what many on this Forum already know. In April of 1947, Henry Ford took his last ride in a Packard hearse. Probably also a Henney. Apparently a Lincoln could not be found and a Cadillac might even feel worse.

Checking my sources, Franklin Roosevelt's remains left the Little White House in Georgia in a Cadillac S&S hearse for the short drive to the funeral train. But there's no detail as to what make of hearse was used for the final mile for the intermet at Hyde Park, New York other than the 200 "olive drab fastbacks with a white star on their doors" to transport the dignitaries. I'll continue to look but since the Roosevelt White House preferred Packards, it might have also been a Henney, too.
