Features 1937 to 1942 Willys Picture Thread

Here is another one, unfortunately it's not as good as the first picture.

The coupe above wearing its usual number 21 and 552 was owned by Mike Marinoff and driven by Reeves. If I remember right it was totaled at Oswego Drag Strip, rolled through the corn field

George Gilmore at Cado Mills 1956. Not sure exactly what year this one is.

 

Does anyone have any *other "Aurora 7" Willys pix(I loved that car as a kid), besides those posted in this thread....

 

I've posted some on this thread, type it in the search and you will find some.

Yes, I saw all the pix of Aurora 7 in this thread, I was just wondering if anyone had more. Also, was wondering if this car still exists in one form or another today?

 

Never noticed the unusual headlight rocket launcher combination that is shown so clearly in this photo. Cool.

 

If I remember correctly they are 62ish Grand Prix parking lights.

The first pictures of the blue coupe in question are pictures of Bruce Frumveller's coupe. I met Bruce in 1975 when I went to his house in California, and bought the the front half of a 1935-36 Willys sedan delivery body from him.

Pardon me please, if I've posted these before. Also I thought both coupes I've posted were the Syndicate. Enjoy!

 

Yup it's a 36 willies. Raced at Vallejo speedway.

 

One from the Street Rod Nationals, last weekend. That's my 9 year old, future hot rodder giving it a walk around.

 

Hey impala59, that's not a 36 as it has the continuous belt line. Most likely a 35, they are different. JW

 

Sorry no more info

You learn something new every day. I have had a few 33-36 Willys and never new that little fact. Thanks 26T and you Impala 59 for posting.

You may be right. This car got twisted up and they built a 2nd one Broderick family from Vallejo .ca) and that is a 36. I got photos of the 36 gonna find them. His son Doug is wanting to build a replica but couldn't find a 36.

 

My 36 Willys, you can see the pin striping ends in a point. These posts should be over in 33 to 36 Willys thread.
