I have a couple pics of my dads 1940 willys running down the track. And a pic of the willys in front of our house, with trophys in front of car. Was looking for info. about his old race car???? Copper colored 1940 lightly red tinted windows. He towed it to the track with a then new 1966 ford galaxie conv. painted the same color 66 ford galaxie copper/bronce not sure of the name of the color??? Had ring free racing oils as his sponser. His anme was Dick shively from delaware ohio. His father had a studabaker dealership. Any help would be appreciated. Just came up with the pics. Going thru some of his stuff that was packed away in attic. He passed away suddenly in 1980. Thanks in advance Allen Shively
