Features 1937 to 1942 Willys Picture Thread

The shape of the bed and the plated "steps" on the red pickup with Ford headlights remind me an awful lot about Bob Panella's truck.
However, it had regular headlights and the rollbar installed inside the cab in all pictures I've seen of it, but since those pictures were taken around '65-'66, this might be an earlier version?

ChrisV........... I think you are right and it's been staring me in the face all these years. I compared a close-up of the Willys pick-ups. I put the photos in sequence by date and they're actually pretty close. Right down to the chrome steps.

Date: 3/10/1963- Red Pickup with 40 Ford headlights.
FREMONT.

Date: 5/26/1963- Panella Trucking with all the Lettering.
HalfMoonBAY

Date: 3/15/1964- Panella '33' Willys
KINGDON

There must have been upgrades between 3/10/63 and 5/26/63. Also. I tried to enlarge the Logo on the red Willys but could not make it out. I'm wondering if this may have been an earley Panella Trucking Company Logo.

Maybe someone can give me some feedback.

Take care.......TOM

 

That's a cool looking Willys!

 

Awesome pictures Tom!
Do you by any chance happen to have more of the Panella Pickup? (IMO it is - by far - the best looking '37-'42 gasser pickup ever built)

Hey Dave does that photo have a story with it??

 

Does anyone have any clues on the black chopped Willys with the hood off with BB/G with the number 184 on the door (in the previous post)? It looks very much like the A/G Grist Bros chopped Willys run in the early 60s found in this thread:



The Willys was such a beautiful car. Thanks to all for all of the pic posts.

 

I mean this thread ...

Hey Dave,
Any idea on where this car ended up? Last i saw of it was in New York and for sale on E-Bay.

 

Dave, this car looks very familiar. Is it from PA? I've seen a stock Willys in the past at some Street Rod shows in PA that was brown and had those same Olds hubcaps.

 

I bought the brown 40 coupe out of Pa last year and brought it back to New York. It was a good little car. It came out of Texas about 20 years ago. I sold it to a guy in California. He said he was going to leave it stock.

 

No - that one was in Argentina. Found a few there...

 

My mate Wayne Streams just sent me this

 

Get a big hammer and dolly

 

Am I the only one that like this front end My future gasser pickup project. I have too start with ruff stuff because of lack of money

 

I like em' ALL !!

 

That is my favorite front end.

 

Hey i recognize that picture

 

I like that nose as well but I like 39 better but preffer 40 and 41-42 the most

That looks like a Zephyr

 

Anglia guy is right

 

The deck lid opening, body lines fading away into the quarter panel, and tail pan all say Willys to me.....might help if you knew what a Zephyr looked like......or better yet, a Willys! LOL!
