History 1933 - 1936 Willys, picture thread

That's great! I have a nostalgia car an original 60's race car and I race it as much as I can. Enjoy it, life is short.

Al Hamberis reunited with the car when he was visiting England about 5 years ago it was a great day he hadn't seen the car for 30 odd years.

36 willys. Darlene Wright photos posted on Vallejo speedway site.

 

First time I've ever seen that, very cool. I've had a few 33-36 willys sedans but none like that.

Doug Broderick photo. 35 willys. also Vallejo speedway. I posted this before.

 

Is that the same #82 car?

Pat

 

No. #16 was a 1935. Someone here on the hamb pointed out the difference in the 35&36.

 

Any news on Tom? I sold him that car,any idea where it went?

 

No Steve I don't know but I'll ask around.

You are right 1933 willys 77 that was a steel Willys with the 364" sbc motor from his record setting 39 Willys coupe. Jack is on left and that is Al Quinn on the right (last known to be in CA). Car went on to become a S/G car out in CA. It's whereabouts are unknown for about the last 20 years. I posted elsewhere that Jack passed away 2 weeks ago, I was just at the shop today and just got home, the motor for my 57 is down there.

After talking with my friend Vinnie Antignanno (blue A/G 33 Willys coupe 499" 421 Pontiac motor) circa 1963. I came up with the person that bought Jack's steel 33, it was Bob Grimm, last known to be in CA.
