Motor Trend and the 1951 Henry J road test

Someone from the KFOCI called me the other night to talk about literature and told me something I was not aware of. In the November 1950 issue of Motor Trend magazine there was a road test of the new Henry J. Most have seen that issue and noted the cover picture is the Henry J. But he had come across another version of that issue with a completely different front cover--the cover on it was of some custom car. The issue was denoted as Edition C which he suggested might have been for California. It is not at all uncommon to have regional editions of magazines now but I had never realized it was done back as early as 1950. He said the contents appeared to be the same as far as he noticed.
