Features 1937 to 1942 Willys Picture Thread

This is what we started with.

 

Brown Bros

 

Anybody know who built this one? It's go a GMC 6 with a Wayne head in it. Lools like it says Burkland Bros on the door. Also I love the head gasket used as a grille.

My friends dad was a flag man for a while at Fresno Dragstrip and he remembers this coupe.

It was owned by the Sarabian Brothers from Dinuba, California. Their uncle owned the Wild Cat.

The Wild Cat was A custom truck that was built by George Barris and owned by Morris Sarabian.

A Much Anticipated Indy Showdown Saw Dick Bourgeois Foul Away Big John’s Chances. Doug Cook Went On To Take The A/GS Trophy With Best Times Of 9.53/152.54.





Owners John Mazmanian And Fred Stone Both Upgraded To Blown Chryslers. Bones Balogh Broke Into The 9s At The Season Opening United Drag Racers Association Meet At Lions, Following Up At The NHRA Winternationals With An NHRA Officiated 9.99 Seconds At An Unprecedented 149.00 Mph. By Midseason, Both Cars Were Touring Nationally, Cracking 150 Mph In Match Races, And Earning Some Of The First Guaranties Paid To Doorslammer Racers.



Yes, That’s The Required Windshield Wiper On NHRA’s Olds Powered C/GS Winner At Indy’s First Nationals In Late 1961. Driver KS Pittman And Builder Bill Edwards, SoCal Stars Even Before The Gasser Wars, Had The Nation’s Quickest And Fastest “C/Super” Car All Season, Owning Both Ends Of The National Record At 11.28/126.22.


Note The Flat Hood. After A Couple Of College Kids, Still Living Here At Home, And Their Little 327 Came Out Of Nowhere To Shock SW&C At Lions In Late 1963 (see Cartoon Ad), Then Sweep B/GS Trophies At Both 1964 NHRA National Events, Jerry And Gary Mallicoat Unleashed A Twin Turbocharged Combination That Upset Mazmanian’s Willys In The ’65 Winternationals B/GS Final. Their Homebuilt, Rochester Injected Approach Reportedly Produced 720 Hp (versus 580 With A Conventional GMC 6/71.)

 

Here’s a few pictures of my coupe. It was owned by Joe and Linda Gren out of Indiana. Was powder blue and then painted the candy blue. Does anyone have anymore pictures of it??

 

Just so happens I have one saved for posting.

 

Awesome! That’s the only show that I had it at before I started to redo the twisted frame. It should be back together sometime next summer.

 

IF I can remember which site I found it on I THINK there were a couple more.

These are the same cars driven by Sandy who was the president of the "Outlaws" car club. I remember the yellowish version mostly when we ran Dover during the 63-65 time frame.
