Features 1937 to 1942 Willys Picture Thread

Thank you! Think that may be the first photo of a stock one I've seen. Really like those headlights. There is a black primed gasser photo somewhere around here that is prefect in my opinion.

 

I believe that’s Elvern Pfifer from Kenosha, Wisconsin.

 

Yes it is. Elvern prided himself in keeping his car immaculate and he kept all the stock trim, kept the tires inside the fenders, and even had a rear view mirror in place. Lower it back to stock height, take off the Moon discs and traction bars and it would look like a stocker. Except for the big Caddy under the hood
A later iteration looked wilder probably to keep up with the competition.

 

@The37Kid Your probably thinking of this one.

 

YES! Right Lottery ticket and I'll be asking about the price. Thanks for posting that photo. Bob

Hello,

In the 1959-60 era, Mike Marinoff had a record setting 55 Chevy Bel Air Hardtop Sedan running in the C/Gas and B/Gas classes. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/earliest-willys-racecars.1024775/page-32#post-14963681

The information posted on the Earliest Willys Race Cars thread was evident, but in doing some research for a different story on drag racing, I kept seeing this advertisement prominently placed in the So Cal section. It may have been one of those jabs at other Willys race cars from the Westcoast. Who other than Isky Cams was the sponsor.

You be the judge…

 

Almost done with my 41 Willys after a 2 year build. Just a ffew more weeks to go.

Hi Pat. Bought this back in November 2021. Sat in my garage at home while I finished my 66 Chevy II Pro-Street sedan. But as soon as that was up and running, I broght this to the shop in April, 2023, and been on it ever since. With 800 HP, Turbo400 and a Winters Quick change, it should be a fun ride. And as soon as this is done, I'll be starting on a 50 Merc I bought last year. Got to keep moving. Running out of time. Hope all is well with you.

 

Great job Baron as usual.

 

Fantastic! Are your headers painted, or powder coated? I like!

 

Thanks Hoop. Long time, no see. Hope all is well my friend.

 

Powder coated. Same people who did the headers on my 57 Corvette 7 years ago and they still look great today.

 

Still plugging away.Thanks for asking.

 

Looks great Baron, I especially like the trunk area with the original lights, license plate bracket and trunk handle. I was around your way last October, we went to the Racing Museum in Loudin NH were my MG is on display then headed down to Boston to go to church and eat at Lidia Bastianichs Eatily.
We are planning on going again soon I'll look you up. I'll bring some Willys parts that I have left over from my collection. Stay well.

Pat
