Actually, Henry Js did not have glove boxes at all in 1951. As you mention, later '51s do have trunk lids but no '51s had glove boxes. I've seen some that people have hacked into them, there was one on ebay recently that was clearly a hack job. Glove boxes were a new feature introduced on the 1952 Corsair series cars. This is was anounced in Kaiser-Frazer service bulletin #323. All Henry Js had glove boxes starting with the 1952 Corsairs. The 1952 Vagabonds were hold-over 1951s so they do not have glove boxes.
Your car is a run of the mill 4 cylinder 1951 Henry J, which in and of itself is a rare car as cars of the 50s go, but among Henry Js it's typical.
It will likely be a good seller as they all are - best of luck with it.
