Features 1937 to 1942 Willys Picture Thread

I had to pass on this a few years back - no money!

 

Hands up those of you who knew Willys made a one ton truck - built in Canada....

 

Dutch built 1938 Willys with six light window treatment....

 

Dutch Willys Panel Van used as a flower delivery truck....

 

Finally for today - I posted a couple of this coupe earlier in the thread but just found some more shots on a CD in my archives, now wipe that drool off your keyboard....

 

And some detail shots - one of the finest unmolested 1940 Willys Speedway coupes I have come across....

 

Send it over Guido and i will cut it up for ya

 

So, How many Guidos do we have on this site??? .... Guido R.

 

^^^Obviously more than one

And this for Langy - you go mate!!!!

 

Interesting work on this pickup with moulded in bed - not an Aussie ute but a US pickup modified by a previous owner of my 1940 Willys woodie wagon....

 

I got to drive this restored beauty - 35k original miles as I recall and it topped out around 55 mph even with factory overdrive. Had a factory radio too....

 

Ha ha ha, even looks like me !!!

 

Here's a rare original factory postcard showing the new for 1940 Willys woodie wagon....

 

A color shot of the 1937 TJR roadster with the 1940 front....

 

1938 Holden bodied ute....

 

1941 Aussie panel van....

 

Lastly the rarest of all US Willys from this period - an ad for the Cantrell 1938 Willys woodie. I think this was probably a spec. built prototype on a 1938 Willys by Cantrell to try and sell Willys on the idea of them building woodie wagons for the Willys passenger car line. Rather than just discuss it in principle, they were serious enough to produce this vehicle....

 

Here's a couple I doubt have been seen... they hardly ever leave the guys garage... I hear he finally sold the red coupe, but he still has the 4 door, and a Panel Delivery, that he hand made from a destroyed car, can't find photos of it, but it's pretty bitchin'...
and they are all steel, no fiberglass or carbon fiber, or anything that wasn't there when they were built.

hey Weasel how you been
That bed was hand fabbed in Maine by Mike Weeks (custom car builder) and Phil Chapman (orig owner of the truck) to match the body lines of the doors . They started off with the inards of an S10 bed if I remember correctly .

I need to get a pix of the "Bare Metal Willys" by itself... but, you can see its low and Hemi powered

 

Here's a heads up for the So Cal Willys guys - looks like Willys Night is scheduled for Wednesday June 1st 2011 at the NHRA Museum in Pomona....

 

Great history on the Willys

I dusted off the old photo album and decided to post some of my old Pics That I took in the early 60's.

Can anyone ID any of the photos taken at Half Moon Bay? Would appreciate it. Minds getting a little fuzzy these days.

Take care.......TOM

 

Are those 40 Ford headlight bezels on the red Willys?
Gives it a unique personality.
