That was my buddy Doug's, suddenly passed away and now his daughter has it.

 

LB do you know who's place this is? ^^^^^^^^^^^ I believe that's my old "Willys Service" sign. I sold it some 10 yrs. ago.

I’m pretty sure that’s Bill Mullins in Ohio.

 

No sure don't. I THINK I posted the one on the far left Jumpin J in the Henry J gasser thread maybe if you can find it it may have more clues to who owns it

 

There’s a video on YouTube from last November showing the Jumpin J for sale by a used car dealer.

 

notice the grille openings are different

Hello,

In 2017, I was invited to go to the “new” first edition of the Lion’s Dragstrip Museum Grand Opening. I contributed my Lions color racing films to be run on the big screen. But, as I was in the process of going to several set up days, I noticed something sitting in the corner of the huge warehouse. Could it be? Then asking questions about it, I found out that it was the center piece of the Lions Museum and Price Transfer Automobilia compound.

The SWC light blue coupe had been refurbished and was sitting all by itself in the corner. No, it was not being punished, but getting ready for the grand opening in late June, 2017.

The original tube grille in all its front end glory !!! We all like a nice front end !

I was flabbergasted to say the least. I thought I was walking into a time capsule and here was one of the top Gas Coupes from So Cal sitting by itself. I had not seen this coupe since the early 60s and it looked fabulous. White wall tires and all.

2017 original Lion’s Dragstrip Museum set up days. It sure was nice to be in a huge warehouse all by myself taking photos. Quiet, empty, awesome… come to mind.

During the 2017 Grand Opening, it was along the major wall of the Museum warehouse hall. Photos of the Willys in competition were on the wall. Mike Cook, Doug Cook’s son, and his family were proudly talking to old friends and new admirers.

Thank you for the story. I am hoping to visit the museum on a trip to SoCal in the future.

 

OK a little something different...Here's are a couple of renderings I did awhile ago that I thought might fit here.
