Features 1937 to 1942 Willys Picture Thread

DE I forgot...but you know that you had to raise it up about a half a pack of Export cigarettes, just to drive on those Canadien roads! Yours is probably nicer that that one anyway...not probably...for sure! A trick question...they were going to make room for a vintage air unit...did you ever hook one up? Are you coming to the 50's this year?

g-willys,
it loved the streets here in calif. All i know is it's wicked fast ! I threw my wifes back out getting on it. Oh ya, no stinkin bags on it & it's all real steel ,just like my 3w that's not hamb freindly.

 

Bill, Naw I don't need no air! The compressor would just use up horsepower. I'll try to make BTT50's. I STILL owe you a ride!

 

Don, That is awesome and I'm sure he will enjoy those shirts. I have seen your car run at Thompson the last couple years and I believe it was at a car show at the X in Cleveland last year. The REBEL REAPER is such a cool car! I will have to stop by and say hello to you. if you'll be there again this year, as well as the S+S team

More old B&W

 

More oldies

 

yeah Randy does great work and is a good guy but for his business side if you decide to get any work done check his timeline Randy takes on way to much work for him to handle. Randy has had my Willys coupe and steel parts for around 4 years now with missed deadlines and excuses which get old to deal with hopefully we will see it back soon. <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

 

great pictures Kev nice to see shots we don't have of my car hopefully it gets soon out of Randy's shop

 

I have one of those mirrors its not perfect

Couple more pictures of my 1st coupe...bought in 1960, raced '63-'67. Sadly...I sold it in 1969. Still in the Twin City area, with a 426 Hemi in it!
Memories!!!

Heres mine. Its ugly , but its getting better.

 

By all means, stop by! I will be at Thompson. I won't be at the x center. Don


Jim, I think your car is looking pretty good! I wish I could find a pile of parts to do what your doing! Oh, and the time too!

 

The amazing Mr. Sibley rides again - gotta follow his thread "well, I am biting off a big chunk". Frankenwillys lives....

 

Jim:

You take on some "challenging" projects. After seeing how nice your 36 Willys came out though, I know you're up for the challenge again. I'll be following your thread.

Okay guys - here's a real oddball factory photo. It's a sedan but not an Aussie Holden body. Note the squared off split windows and one slot De Luxe style bumper with the ribbed bumper guards. Factory prototype maybe???

 

Here's another shot - note the Willys Overland hood script and it looks like it may have a flat trunk too....

 

Here's a factory photo of a Speedway coupe - note the same one slot bumper as the sedan....

 

Gotta love those stockers and with whitewalls too! Another one slot bumper and a wiper linkage bar....

 

Weasel,
I love those stockers and they have all eluded me. I'm still looking. They are beauty's.

 

Okay, I'm on a roll here - plain jane 1940 Speedway sedan - factory photo shows flat trunk. No wonder I say there are no absolutes when talking about pre war Willys....

 

Home on the range - production 440 de Luxe sedan....

441 Americar coupe factory photo....

 

1941 Pickemup....

 

1941 1/2 ton Panel Delivery - there was one of these in WI a few years back. they were produced in very small numbers from 1938-1941....
