Plum.......
Tonight I will try to scan a killer bunch of Willys gassers from the photo album Im sure you will like.
Some are from York, but the others Im not sure.

 

Plum these shots of Ohio George are marked York US 30-Drag a way-1961

 

Thanks.

I should have said any GASSER. I don't care where they're from but York does have a soft spot in my heart.

Not sure on 1 & 3 but 2 & 4 look like York. Am I'm right? Do you know?

Thanks,

Plum

 

Yea.........At least someone wrote York Pa on the back of the pictures.

 

Was it back a few pages?

 

There not the best........but here a few action shots.

 

I like the blue Drag-on the best.

Now the 1st. Shoe car I say is purple but Shoe says he never had a purple car. I have other shots & when you see them I'll let you be the judge. I seen it & I like it & I say it was purple.

Of course the last shot is blue.

The red 40 Willys was shot at York US 30 in Oct 1961. Said on the back of the photo that it ran a blown olds and was owned by Willie Kaiser.

 

The 2nd picture I believe is the late Ray Kobel with his wheelstanding 40 Willys coupe at Cecil countyat the division 1 meet back in 65

One of Woody Gilmores early cars. That's him in it at Vacaville. There's alot going on in the background too.


My all time favorite, Hank Vincent in "Top Bananna" a beautiful, fast car that was raced hard.
I'll post more later...

 

Great photos especially the black 32.

 

Couple more Willys......I think the yellow one is Jack Merkel????

 

AWESOME photos!!!!!!!! The yellow Willys is Ray Koebel. There were a bunch of cars that ran out of Jack's shop. Jack was and still is a great builder of Chevy engines. Pretty much had at least one car in every gas class with Jack Merkel Automotive on them. My 41 sedan was one of them. It ran both C & D/Gas.

 

C/gas............I know you will like these. Are you going to boiling Green this Year???

 

A couple pics of a chopped Willys pick-up .......last ones.

 

Yes I love these gasser shots. No we won't be making it to Bowling Green. My son has both baseball and Jr. Dragster racing that weekend. The kids come first.
