Where in Baltimore? I'm in Harford County.

 

I will be seeing a ton of these in a few weeks in bowling green

 

I will be there with my camera, I take pictures of real ones only. I will post my pics and hopefully other HAMBers will also.

 

To make a long story short, I bought this all steel,1941 Coupe in 1983. I had just finished (almost finished.....) with my house, and had pretty much run out of money. I had bought the Willy's from a friend (kept after him since 1972 to sell me the car) who had bought the car back in 1964 from Chick Brignolo. So, when I knew it had to go, I called Chick and he was at my house 1 hour later.
He still owns the car today. It is on round tube chassis he built,powered by a blown Hemi,painted black and straight as an arrow. Today the car is probably worth more than it cost me to build my house in 1983 ! Who would have ever guessed that could be possible?

 

a few more

 

Im in Essex, originally from Kingsville.

 

This was my Father's car (Joe Padula) back in the mid 60's.
He ran it at Connecticut Dragway, Charlestown, Lebanon Valley and other strips around New England.

Does anyone remember it? or have any photos of the car?

Or remember Joe and the crew.

Thanks, Tom

Looks like my brother Marc is joining the "Willys fold" with this one. Should be here tomorrow evening. Just in time to cruise over to Toluca Lake Bobs Big Boy on friday.

 

Can't see those pics!

 

Thats weird, when I pull up this page, the pics are already up.., down loaded them again.

 

Nice car! I saw this on EBAY for sale & would have loved to had it but to many projects!

 

Thats strange. Pics are showing in the original post now!

Thats a high car! Cool.

 

Looking at the pictures of your car is like watching the movie hotrod inspiration for me to keep working on my car

NICE CAR

 

I recognize those vehicles

 

Thanks Willys41, wish we could take credit for building it, but it was too good a deal to pass up.
