During the opening credits of "The Professionals" (1966), starring Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, an automobile collects Marvin to bring him to the tycoon, Ralph Bellamy. The story takes place between about 1917 and 1921. The car has the word "Henry" as ascending diagonal script on the front radiator grill.
What is the brand and model of the automobile?

Re: What kind of automobile is a Henry?
Kaiser-Frazer built the Henry J starting in 1950 so the car, if that's what it was, is not correct for the time period.
"People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence, they're begging for rule by brute force, when the biggest, strongest animals among men were always automatically 'right.' Guns ended that, and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make it work."

The Henry was an automobile built in Muskegon, Michigan by the Henry Motor Car Company from 1910-12. The first model built was a five-seat tonneau with a 35hp engine which sold for $1,750. Both 20hp and 40hp engines were made available in 1911, and these were available in five body styles. The 1911 two-seater roadster had running-board mounted toolboxes.

Re: What kind of automobile is a Henry?
1750??-- that was serious & big money back then!
For those of you who think that $1,750 was cheap even for 1910, it would take $38,490.00 to purchase the same item in 2007.
Ah the good ol' days???....

The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are just about done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....

The Henry J was not an automobile that any tycoon would send for "anyone'.
