    That's probably my least favorite Willy's
     
  6. If I had the money, I'd have to say, both.
    Can't decide which years I like better, and dam it, I don't want to, haha.
    Love em all equally, the above examples prove that.
    Willy just scream, drag racer!

  9. So why isn't there a button for 37/39, have your ever thought just how many of those 40/42 are 37/39 body's with the front clip changed. You should have a button for the 37/39, how would you feel if you heard someone say man that is one ugly baby, just think about that. Sorry, but they have feelings too.

    Ok, @38 2 DR Sedan you talked me into it. I must admit those '39's are starting to grow on me too. Now maybe @Rocky will vote to.

    For me a '41 with a '58 Ford grille is the only way too go.

    I've had a dumb idea in my head recently about taking one of those mid 50's Willys woody-esque station wagons and grafting on a 40-42 nose, plus some teardrop rear fenders close to flush on the rear, to make a real cheap Willys woody wagon. Cowl would take quite a bit of work but it doesn't seem impossible.

    I saw a guy, maybe on here, put a Willys nose on an F-1 pickup truck and it made me think where else one of those noses could go. I might try to photoshop it if I get time.

    Too new for the HAMB, but I liked Teixiera's vette better than his willys...Won more big races too, really the car that made him a house-hold name.

    I don't like this game.

    This one was on eBay not too long ago. If I have to pick one, this one is it. Price was really high but what a cool looking car, and mild custom to boot. I'm surprised we don't see more of these done custom, seems like most are either drag cars or 90's style pro-streeters.
