Dick Long's Pittman and Edwards Willys coupe....

 

I crewed on this truck back then. It was an original, 1942 U.S. Navy truck. Carl Hegge found it and built this truck. After Carl sold it, it was in Hot Rod magazine under the new owners names, Haynes-Dominick. Last I heard, it was in North Carolina and being put on the street.

 

A picture of ours the day we brought it home. Sure wish we could of found out more about it's race days

 

Took this at Indy this past year. Paul & Pam Balash with their 41 coupe.

 

Rocky;
I knew I should have put my name on this picture.
I took it in Ontario Canada.
Rick

 

Nice old chopped pick up.

 

One of my local heros Fred Hurst.

 

Nice clean coupe.

 

Anyone out there have any info. on this willys? If so, shoot me a p.m. I know its not a popular one, but i would like to know more about.-----

 

Dont get your hopes up, that picture was taken along time ago. Im sure its a street rod now. Kiwi Kev took that picture in the early 80's.

 

It seems like that back in the 70's, Hot Rod had a one page article on a Willys coupe out of So Cal that was orange (orange-ish) and called "Tequila Sunrise". Does anyone else remember this car, or were the 70's not too kind to my mind?

 

Yes. Someone recently restored that car. It's on the road again. I've seen pictures of it recently on the web at some So-Cal car shows. I may be able to dig up a pic or two tonight.

 

Mr Fiatman..........somewhere in Canada.
Are you saying that I used your photo's??? I was in Indy this past year with my good friends Paul & Pam and followed them on the parade lap with my 33 Willys.

 

39Fiat ................Freds car was ALSO at Indy this past year.

 

a couple more

 

Traffic61.............Was this the car you were thinking about?

 

That sure jibes with my memory. Really dug that car. Thanks for the picture. That one and the red one with the Logghe Bros. chassis that Gray Baskerville did a road test on in the mid 70's have haunted me for years. I wanted to build my own version of this and found out that a the father of a freind had a long neglected coupe. I tried unsuccessfully to buy it for nearly 20 years. Thanks again for posting the pic.

 

I think Rick meant one of the pics I posted....on the subject of pics... I'm quite grateful to all the photogs that took all the great pics... Unfortunately its very hard to tell who took a particular shot.... The only way I know who took what is if the photo has a credit on it... I would not and have never cropped out a photogs credit... What I post, is in the same format as I got it..
Thanks again for the GREAT memories!

Rocky

 

Ditto Rocky......... I don't believe in taking someone elses credit. Me and Rick have already worked it out. Noooooooo problem. You still have the best lookin coupe out there.(love those Halibrands).

 

Mike Bamber's Silver Dollar is coming up on the auction block at Barrett-Jackson this week....
