History Cars From Milwaukee Wisconsin, SE WI, and Northern Illinois....

Is this a 32 PB coupe? Do you know who's car it was?

 

That was my Dads car and now I own it

 

Is that the car in your avatar?

 

Very cool!!

 

Yes that's it

My '39 project car came from Wisconsin. Appears to be an early sixties build-283, three deuces, Muncie 4 spd, was red at one time. It also had '40 headlights.

 

From the 1936 MKE auto show...

Anybody have information on this fiberglass Anglia?

 

Or this Willys?

 

For some reason that parts store name on the Anglia rings a bell - Indiana somewhere? Maybe there was a shot of it on a U.S. 30 thread?

 

Yes it was in Indiana. Glenn Kreiger ran a 1941 WILLYS Coupe out of Van Senus Auto Parts. He also built the old chassis that was under my '33 Coupe

 

Van Senus Auto parts is still in business in Hammond, Indiana.

 

My buddy owned it for a while back in the early 1980's. At that time it had an injected 331 Chevy engine in it. I think I have a picture or two of it from a car show some where in Wisconsin. The car was kept in Milwaukee and if I remember right the show was in Sheboygan.

 

Going back and looking at the picture his name is on the right rear QP.

 

Any more pictures of "The Little One"?
I am sure that Bill ( the original builder) would like to see them. The car is now in one of the Dakota's, Bill tracked it down a few years ago. I will print any photos posted and give them to Bill, he is not computer savvy.
Thanks!

 

Anyone have any idea on this? Was solid green at one time(as far as i can tell)







Had a few to many beers at Iola '15 and finally got it home this weekend

 

Bill Kilberg?.....

 

'49 Ford built by Rich Somers of Stevens Point WI. in late 50's or early60's. 1956 Ford front fender sections and rear quarter panel sections grafted on. Also built in connie kit and 54 Chev. grille. Painted a deep bronze and cream. Supposedly running a Y-block. Was sold to someone in the Milwaukee or northern Ill. areas in the early to mid. 60's. Anybody got any info.???? Best and only pic's I have ....

 

Bob, you from Milwaukee? Gary

 

Yes. Bill is a friend and lives a couple of miles from me. I am also friends with his younger brother.

 

Looks like my neighbor, Jerry L***** car, north side of Milwaukee 1964-66, believe he had car well into 70's, not a fast car, 283 2 barrel power glide. PBRme your car ?

 

just a remembrance; i lived in monmouth, ill., in the mid-'60s and remember one local guy who rode a harley, one of those war-surplus jobs that came in a crate, and you assembled it. also, it seemed that every other dirt-track jalopy was named for a local rotgut beer, "iron man"!
