1941 Willys B/GAS 4 door sedan in 1959 Hello, In 1959, at the Riverside Raceway, I took these movies with the afternoon sunspots coming into the lens as I moved the camera to capture the action. A week later, during this time period late 59-early 1960, everyone that came over to my house said those were messing up the action and were a distraction. I was just a kid with an old movie camera. Geez... Jump up 61 years later and the digital frame by frame editing brings back those artsy shadows or reflections. Now, it is an accepted method of showing true life action and color. No distractions for inclusion in Hollywood movies, so for old home movies, it comes back around. Yea! 1941 Willys 4 door sedan red primer So far, there has been no identification of the powerful Willys 4 door sedan in the designated, original, Gas Coupe and Sedan Classes. It was impressive standing at the starting line and when the Willys sedan took off, the noise was music to my ears. The 38 Chevy coupe had no chance from the start. Then all of a sudden, the Willys shifted and the nose came up off of the ground in the shift. That is power. One would think that a competitive Gas Coupe/Sedan Class race car would have been a known identification.

But, no, that (ENGLE CAM SPONSORED) green Willys sedan was parked just down the pits area in all its fast, cool looking glory. Weddle-Nichols Willys Sedan
