In June 1965, 28-year-old Jim Henson started a written log of his activities in what became known as “The Red Book.” He noted down what had happened up until that point (deemed “Ancient History”) and then recorded anything that he felt was worth recording as single line journal entries until the end of 1988.

Jim enjoyed driving and took pleasure in picking out new cars. His BMW came after a Thunderbird, a Porsche, a Jaguar and a Lotus…and several station wagons. Learn more about Jim’s cars.
