History Automotive Archaeology - My Aero Willys - mind blown - CT area

As you can see your car was built by a group of guys who shared info and were well versed in building drag cars. This is just a part of what they’d done there’s way more cars they built

 

Turbo, there some real history in those photos! Love 'em all.

 

Thank you Turbo-69 for sharing these incredible local pictures. Jack-pot! I'm looking forward to hopefully meeting Vern's son this year at the CT Dragway reunion. great post to see this morning!

 

Great pics!

 

What a cool, cool story. Your Aero is beautiful and a piece local history! You've done a super job on it! I've only ever seen one in the wild, nicely done w/sbc & auto. Made me scratch my head for a minute until I saw the big ole W in the grill! Thanks for sharing, and hope to see more in the future!

 

Great story. Thank you for sharing. Great job. Always love to hear Connecticut and Rhode Island hotrod history.

 

I traded a Monogram's Un Certain "T" for this Resin curbside Pro Mod Willy Areo model. Rip Frank....

 

Glad you guys liked the pics. I’m a bit of an old school drag car junkie. Was born at the wrong time I guess. Most of those guys were my dad’s friends. My dad had 56 D500-1 convertible back then. Most people don’t even know what that is , Arnie beswick had a hard too and he said it was the best drag car he ever owned. Made about 8 convertibles.


This is my firebird. If any of you guys knows the car I’m trying to figure out how it went from having Stephen Pontiac ownership to Deb’s on the side figured maybe someone here may know. Thanks for any info
