Features 1937 to 1942 Willys Picture Thread

Hi Pat. Yes I may have gotten that Sandy Coupe Picture from a Post on here? Was it you that posted it, I don't recall? I have other Pics of that nose on the Frank Calabro coupe in my picture files.

 

I am now the caretaker of your old beautiful girl and would love to talk to you about it

 

Thank you. I sent him a PM in hopes I get lucky , would be wonderful!

 

Dig it!

 

Killer!

 

Phil Parker’s Gran-Ma Willys has been seen here before, and today was a lazy day for me. You can imagine my surprise when it popped up in a History Channel show about “Mega Brands” featuring blue jeans.

That got me to looking for more about the car and it turns out that Phil bought the car back some 60 years after campaigning it. It had gone through a few owners and was eventually rebuilt as a street rod by the time he found it
but he had the car restored to its as raced look.


Here’s a screenshot of the car in the opening scenes of the NHRA’s 1959 film “Ingenuity In Action”

 

First picture was from the Northeast Vintage Drags in Oxford Plains, ME. And the second picture totally surprised me when it turned up in the June issue of National Dragster. The last is my good friend Tony Gentile and me lined up in the staging lanes for our nostalgia exibition run.

 

Wow. Great stuff!

 

I might have got that from you? Don't recall, Pat Thanx.
