One of the fastest g***ers in my neck of the woods back in the day was a 40 Willys with a big block Chevy. I guess it left a lasting impression because I still get excited when I see one today.
NO! Many of us liked other cars better - for me (other than my Blair's Anglia) it has to be Skipper's Critter.
i like all g***ers but my favorites had stone woods and cooke on the doors and mainly had the shape of a 40-41 willys of them the medium blue one is the FAVORITE
Hey bud How come you don't accept PMs? What if I want to privately call you a bad name? Just pullin' your chain I only call people bad names in public [unless they are runde to me in private]. I wanted to write you about something last night late. I don't even recall what it was now, but it seemed important at the time.
I voted for 41 Willys.... But really if you know really know your g***ers and Drag Racing. Then you know there is only one g***er that stands above the rest that really started things.

Say what, well hell what true g***er is not altered? lol That thing speaks g***er to me.... If it truly set the stage for cars to come, then I think it qualifies as a g***er. I mean take another look at it!
It was a thing to behold, just not a thing of beauty. Even as a youngster it seemed odd to me but from an engineering standpoint it has it's merit. By the way I also picked the '41 Willys, the poll choices could have been refined and broadened some though.
It was cool and in a sense it could be called a g***er in that it ran on gas but it ran in altered cl***. It was not legal for gas coupe/sedan cl***. The thing that you have to remember is that before '64 nothing that didn't come with a beam axle was allowed to run one in gas cl***. The rules actually state no body or suspension lift to gain traction. Blah blah. Ah if you are interested I'll send you a copy of the '64 rules. I don't think the thread is about gas cl*** rules and it doesn't seem to be defined by an era either.
voted 41 willys for me if i could only get my hands on a steel car? "big $$$$$$$$$" but I'm also partial to (others) as well!
