John Mazmanian's '41 Wilys


To my mind, one of the most beautiful
Willys gassers ever built..

I have to agree

 

Here are a few more pictures of the Ernie's Camera "Shudder Bug". I was there the day it crashed at San Fernando.

What are you doing to me? This is a complete spinout.

This is my local shopping center and the VE Valiant on the right is still owned by the same person. For the past ten years i have been trying in vain to buy that car but the old bird wont budge.

Amazing. Thanks MrFire. Do you have anymore?

Doug Whiteford in #6 Ford Special:



There aren't many photos around of this car. It was known as "Black Bess" and I saw it on display a few years ago. There was a plinth that outlined its history. I can't recall the details, but it was most impressive. It won or placed in most races, but not this one at Lobethal. Retired after losing a tread.
