History 1933 - 1936 Willys, picture thread

Trying something new with the pics by request.

 

Cool shot! Got any photos of the Steinberg, Hayes, & Riley '33 Willys pickup? I've only seen one action shot of the truck, and one shot of with one of the guys standing next to it. I also haven't seen but a couple photos of the Edmisson Bros. '33 Willys pickup. There weren't too many of these little trucks......not even back in the day!

 

No more of Steinberg's pu, but here's a pretty rare article on the Edmisson Bros truck. It's from 1001 Custom & Rodding Ideas, Winter 71.

 

Now that's what I'm talking about!! Mark, you should go back and re-post as many as you can, it's like seeing them for the first time!! Good show!!

 

Cool shots of the Edmisson Bros. pickup........I had seen that article before; and one other photo posted here on the HAMB......thanks for posting it up! Somebody has got to have some action shots of it you'd think! LOL!

 

Found one more in my computer for you this car just looks so good

 

I have these fenders still with the blue paint on them.

John Fousts bad ass 33..! Car has gone 8.50's..



Ray Zeller's 33...



Cool shot of two 33's side by side!



Good looking 33!



My buddy, Dave Cobb's 33 when it was still being built...



Jack Merkel's 33 in the pits..

 

Hart Automotive...



My buddy Greg M. driving Dave Stegmans Classical Gas 33 Willys. Greg drove my K.S. Pittman tribute car last season. Great driver and person!



I saw this car alot as a kid growing up...



From one of the Gasser reunions..

 

In my opinion, the prettiest 33 Willys pick up ever built..might be the fastest too...I heard it ran in the 8.20's forty years ago!



Cool shot of Ohio George and Eddie Sanzo!



Another shot of John Foust's 33...Great looking and FAST..!



Selkirk and Bork on the trailer.

 

Cool shots guys. Thanks for posting them.

Rocky, that shot of the Hart 33 Racing Big Wilson's Austin is pretty rare. Thanks for posting.

 

Coolness Maximus in a little package.

 

Pat how did you get them got to be a story there??
my sound daft but can you post a photo of them,
Paul.

 

If you've seen 1001 Ideas article, you've probably seen the Hot Rod article. But just in case...

 

Here's the only picture I've seen of Steve McGee's car when it was black with green flames. There's a brief shot of it on the Jackson Bros gasser video, but I'd love to find some nice color pics of it.

 

...from my photo archive of a local carshow:

 

Here's an original ad from Colliers magazine. It shows John North Willys introducing the new '33 Willys or, as they called it, the "New Era Car". This was a two page ad and it barely fit my scanner. First we get the color picture. On page two it has the specs. I couldn't get the bottom of the page to show but the price is quoted as being from $395 to $475. Yes, I believe I'll take a few at that price....lol Enjoy!

 

Nope, that's one I hadn't seen.....thanks again!

 

A few for tonight...

 

Is this the same car?

(Hot Rod, Dec. '66)

 

Awesome thread! I wish I had more time. I have scrapbooks filled with this stuff. I saved all Willys magazine articles and car features long before the internet was a glint in Al Gore's eye. Just don't have much time for scanning.

 

Hey Kev when ever you have the time we don't mind waiting,

 

Just been told by Doug who Owens the car that these 3 photos are all the same car, Doug is the young guy in the back ground with head band on
standing in front of the car when it was blue, Good to know that the car is still around and is being rebuilt, thanks for letting us know Doug,

 

Well, Rocky, sorry for the correction...but...the Bizio truck ran 8.80's and maybe it went slightly quicker at some point, but it never went 8.20's. It was fast though. But hey, disregard this message because the internet is where history is completely rewritten, heroes are made, and the truth be damned! LOL!
By the way, nice web site! Later buddy!
