    You sure it was a g***er? Santa Anna, TX is tiny (never more than 2,000 people) and remote.

    Edit: Coleman Gas & Oil of Santa Anna, TX was an oil & gas company (public utility) - not a gas station. I'd bet your Willys door was off a company car.

    I think you are right.
     
  10. Found a '38 Willys Pickup once, that had Watertown SD Utility Dept. on the door.
    Definitely a company truck!

    lol, Jeff. That was a stretch. Your Lee Kay plugs are turning into the "six degrees of Lee Kay" (Kevin Bacon).

    Neat door!
