Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

Here is a real nice survivor.

Lots of them in this part of the world, probably mostly because they were about the first readily available 4 wheel drive rigs and that was a big advantage on our early roads. However, call it a Williss around here, nobody would know what the hell you're talking about, haha.

Also, just a guess, but I'll bet if you asked every soldier that came home from WWII who made all the Jeeps, damned few would say Williss built them.

 

That Beetle does have a trunk in the back!

 

just because a lot of people say willez doesn't make them right. i say an article once with mr willys and he said his name was willis. just google "how do you pronounce willys" get educated.

That Bug has had to have been sitting a long time for a tree to grow so big out of it's ***

 

"ran when parked"

 

At the local old junkyard in the back lot that is hard to get into during warmer months.

 

The engine and trans is up in the branches at the top of the tree..

Rite!

 

And I suppose the first thing outta your mouth was, and I quote “ whatchu talkin bout Willis?”hehe.

 

Parked when new..

 

65 Sport Fury Convertible. Possibly a pace car based on the color combination.

 

Odd hubcap color on this one... .

 

That one hurts my heart a little

 

Bessemer Alabama

 

That is just so wrong.

 

Is this for real or a made up thing...

 

Looks like AI or some kind of photoshop type of creation.

 

Me too, I own a pace car, hate to see one die like that, It loos like a big block car based on the fender emblem. Would love to drag it out for parts at least

 

Looks like someone painted the hubcaps with Chrysler engine turquoise at one time.

 

Just because I'm having fun being a wee bit argumentative...

Calling an engine a motor doesn't make it right, nor does calling a baseball cap a hat, but it seems to be completely acceptable to almost everyone now days.

Even if it causes the sensation of fingernails on a chalk board to some, I think that the American version of english no longer cares how the founder of the company pronounced his last name. Since old John North Willys would be 150 years old this year, I doubt he'll make too big a fuss about his name being mispronounced, haha. He probably didn't care too much when he was alive, as long as his automobiles were selling.

Okay, I'm done now, lol.

 

Two white bodies share the same left front fenders, bumper and single hood,

 

Brewton Alabama

 

This is for sale locally. I thought the pictures were to cool not to share!

 

That looks like a large percentage of the production of that model. JW

 

It’s got potential. I mean it’ll buff out. Hehe.

 

My buddy is trying to put one of those together, and I think it's way worse than this one. This one is pretty nice, I don't see any rust. My buddy's is more rust than metal.
