One of them is an unrestored Henney.

I see a couple of typos. President Truman's limo was a 1950 Lincoln, not 1960.

And can someone explain what a "Selective-Silent" automatic transmission" is?!?.... ...

Good question since Packard automatics didn't come with a clutch and Electromatics were supposed to be defunct when that car was built. I can't tell if that might be a red clutch pad or just a dirty one.

Maybe Henney did something strange. After all, they advertised air conditioning for some of their vehicles when Packard didn't offer it so maybe they had something extra in transmissions available as well.

Also interesting is the vehicle looks to have almost no options other than power windows. Since the pump was present for the casket apparatus, wonder if they were standard with that configuration or extra.
