Features 1937 to 1942 Willys Picture Thread

Here's a couple of nice stockers at the Recent Russo and Steele auction in Phoenix.

 

That red one looks like a glass car but the gray one looks like a nice real steel coupe. I heard it fetched 150 grand? Anybody know the sale numbers from the auction? I wonder if its the same gray one from Michigan that I posted pictures of earlier in this post?

 

This one, after looking I think the plate is the same.

Yes, its a repro. I looked for some time before I found a correct coupe handle. They are so hard to find I buy parts just to put together correct ones.

Trouble

 

yes man the red car Is a junk street beast body the grey car sold on auction at 145K large + buyer preminum so somehere around 155 K I would think.same car from up north I talked with the owner awhile back and he told me It was going to this sale.

 

I agree his garage Is like a piece right out of a movie very NICE.

Jack Merkel 39 Coupe. How many 39 gassers are out there?

 

Dave,
A very good friend of mine was at the auction. He called me after the stock gray coupe sold. It did sell for $150,000.00. Not sure on the red one.

 

Live net feed showed the grey car at 145K then you have to ad commissions.so I'd say somewhere around 155K.

 

think the red car brought like 50 k

 

I have only seen maybe two or three pictures of this coupe ever. If you have any please post them.

 

Hell ya you were like Cya!

Nice 39 Coupe

 

Custom 39 Willys Coupe

 

A little off topic, but thought this would be a good place to ask if anyone remembers a wind up, toy '41 Willys that extended out and took off. Bout the size of a muscle machine. My uncle gave it to me as a kid ('70's) and of course it eventually was over wound and later discarded. I ever so often will search the web hoping for a picture but have never had any luck. Anyone have a pic? Thanks.

I think you're referring to the Aurora Imposters cars.

 

Thats the one and only, the Willys was pink. I have one in my collection.

 

Mystery finally solved! Can't thank you guys enough! Everytime I see a Willys coupe I think of that crazy thing. Should have asked on here a long time ago. Johnny
