A custom-made convertible based on Kaiser-Frazer's "Henry J" compact.  Kaiser-Frazer never offered one, but several folks built their own. This is one of them.

Yes, custom-made convertible based on Kaiser-Frazer's "Henry J"
This was the easy part, but who did it and when?

It looks like you are new to AutoPuzzles, aren't you?  :D

LOL - Hardly, as you well know. It just gets tiresome when a puzzle car's identification is asked for and given, only to be followed up by "yes, but . . . " additional questions that were not asked as part of the original puzzle. That's called "moving the goalpost" and it is a poor practice. Never the less, it's your puzzle. Do as you will. The car has been identified, perhaps that will help others unless you next get into what was the builder's address, phone number and shoe size. Where does it end?  Do better. :D

Thank you very much for your detailed explanation on how to create puzzles.
I was desperately looking for any of your puzzles as a correct template, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything. Or did I miss something?
For the moment I have about 80 current puzzles of altogether 700 available for everyone. I don't want to insult or dismiss you, but you can also turn to puzzles of all other players. There are enough available.
Apparently you missed the fact that -in addition to some of my puzzles- there are currently many with the same or very similar ask-wording available. Wouldn't you like to point out this problem to these other players too? Wouldn't that be the correct way? Right?
I can imagine that frustration may overwhelm you if you can't find right solutions, while perceiving AutoPuzzles as competition.
But it's a game and nothing more. Nothing can be bought for earned points. They can't provide future careers.
So, same question again, 'you are new to AutoPuzzles, aren't you?'

Do better, by creating puzzles with (in your mind) correct ask-wording. In this way, you could become a role model for everyone. And you would not only attract attention with questionable comments..

Just to calm the waves a bit and return from the personal level to a general one.  ;)
It is a common practice at AutoPuzzles that  - as long as the car is not a stock model where the brand and model name is sufficient - "identify" means to name the person / company / coachbuilder who was responsible for the alterations or modifications on the puzzle car as well as to name its base. Fyreline, you write yourself "Kaiser-Frazer never offered one, but several folks built their own. This is one of them." So you admit yourself that "A custom-made convertible based on Kaiser-Frazer's "Henry J" is just part of its identification. Good luck in investigating further, it's part of the fun.
