Features 1937 to 1942 Willys Picture Thread

^^^^Same sedan as above.^^^^

 

I have a picture of the car in a 1989 Phoenix Az. autotrader [I saved the picture in my album]. I checked out the car back in 1989. Total rust bucket but a true conv.You could see the ground without opening the hood. Asking price back in 89 was $9500. If I could scan it, I would post a picture of it from the add. 392, hilborn,Vertex mag. and magnesium rims.

 

Old Willys pictures from years gone by.

 

Another picture

 

I got the 41 willys conv. to scan.

 

Im glad you posted that here, I seen you had posted in another thread. That was strong money for that car at that time but, it was worth it! It has to be somewhere, nobody in their right mind would have scrapped that rare Willys. I wonder where they came up with 1 of 4 made? Maybe someone in the HAMB knows the shop selling and could do some detective work, finding that car would be better than money in the bank!

 

wow great stuff ssaza25

 

Man, am I jealous, Bob. That coupe is sweet.

 

i just picked this up-----cant afford a steelie

 

jus burnt some 45 year old M & H,s in the driveway !!! smelt and felt goood !!! O yeah ! although i do not condole this type of behavior !

Mick visiting his new neighbor who just happends to have a all steel 41 coupe. Some of your East Coast guys may know the yellow coupe.

 

beautiful cars dave.... looks like a couple of overgrown slot cars lookin for a track !!! great colors........

 

Mick that coupe sure looks good all shiny now. Nice job.

 

does anyone out there know the makers of an early glass one piece front end besides Cal Automotive i seen the name on an earlier post thought it began with an L ? thanks............ ps. looking for 40 rear view mirror thanks

 

The previous owner of my car said the nose piece was made by Ai Fiberglass.

 

i forgot about anderson industries they also made a lot of anglia stuff too . i have a cap in storage i need to pull out was just wondering . i kinda know what the cal grill section looks like , dont thinks it that thanks ........ pic of my passenger door. Original Laplace Dragway decal and class winner sticker from 60,s also sun instruments !

 

Hill and Zartman fiberglass from Pennsylvania. All part of the S&S Racing Team.

 

I too have heard the figure of four made in 1940 but nothing ever to substantiate it. I posted earlier in this thread about the 1940 convertible made for FDR which resides in The Little White House in Warm Springs, GA. This is a true factory built car and is a coupe with the roof hacked off and sealing caps welded on the header, doors and rear behind the seats. It has the optional for 1940 running boards.

 

thanks dave there was an earlier post i think with a 40 and 41 one piece nose some had got was a old gasser think it was gold and they mentioned the cap think you could still see a piece of the name of the car on front of drivers side ....

 

Ww thanks everyone !!! Awsome history lesson !!!

 

Rocky,

If you are trying to I.D. your front end, here is some info that may help. The Hill-Zartman fiberglass front ends were in pieces (fenders, hood, and grille section). I don't think they ever made a one piece, but it could have been easily glued together. Also the grille section used for a mold was the original Flithy Forty steel part, so it has a two section grille (two holes) rather than the single grille opening like the 1941.

This photo is an original Hill-Zartman front end (4 pieces) from 1962. Good luck!!

 

Thanks i found the post on 2013 i think off the eastern willys i think its the anderson one ....5 less minutes to toss and turn tonite thanks o.r. ! :d

 

Video of my car at Greer Dragway S.C. Probably taken around 1980 or 81. At the time the car was owned by Sunny Chapman of Ashville N.C. I bought the car from him in 1982. After hearing it run I may have to start gathering up some small block parts. I still have the original clutch pedal.

 

O yeah ! Sweet go for it.... What all ya need for it

 

Hi
