I really like it. The use of the sedan roof and rear window trunk lid genious.

I like the proportions and style.

That's a neat piece of work- far cooler than a four-door sedan. Too bad they ditched the six-cylinder and the overdrive, it would've made a neat powertrain.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I love it! Great design... it just needs a longer wheelbase by a couple of inches. Very slick...

oh, nobody has mentioned that it has the correct PATINA...

MAYBE youre just JEALOUS that your metal work doesnt get close to the amount of quality work that has been put into this car....


i said it before, ill say it agian...

I like it... it would stand out in a crowd of flat black cars with fake rust airbrushed on

did anyone else notice it doubled in price since it has been posted here? not EVERYONE thinks its GAY

I say cool, as well.

The euro roadster influence was big after the war, and went on for a while. I notice it more the further east you go.

More traditional than any kustom Falcon, but that is just me...

The front ends on all the Willys looks good. I like it! but not real crazy about how the body was cut at the seat area. http://i18.ebayimg.com/03/i/00/ca/98/01_1.JPG

Definitely in the "cool" category. Cars like this were the leading edge sports rods back when I got interested in messing with cars (late 40s, early 50s). You'd see one almost every month in either Popular Mechanics or Mechanix Illustrated. Some of the magazines even advertised plans for them, but this Willys is definitely a one-off product of somebody's hard work. Maybe you had to be there at that time to appreciate them now.
