West Peterson Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Anyone know the whereabouts of an unmodified 1940 Willys Americar Coupe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanderson44 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 West, They are out there! Saw several completely stock Willys Americars at last June's GoodGuys Rod & Custom show at Indianapolis.Not all of them got made into gassers.Art Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 40LUV Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 There is a red one in Eastern PA that I usually see at Macungie. I can't figure out picture posting here, otherwise I would have shown a picture of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest De Soto Frank Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 RE: Red Macungie AmericarI've seen that one too... couldn't remember if it was a sedan or coupe...Gee, I wonder if it was the same car... <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pontiac59 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Rough ones bring $20-$25K, if you find one for less, buy it on the spot. I think I finally have my Willys sold, but it's a '37 sedan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Here is a link (originally posted on the HAMB) to a set of pictures of just about every willys coupe known to man. There are a number of original cars in here. http://public.fotki.com/AKAKustoms/willys/A.J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Wow!I went through all 73 pages (872 photos) and found about four original cars. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Peterson Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 I didn't make any notes as to which page the stockers were on, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxnard Montalvo Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I don't see like I used to, but I only saw two stockers. Lots of gassers. Gassers up the wazoo. For originals I saw a two tone sedan on page 10, and a coupe on pages 51, 55.The old photos of early gassers are pretty wild.One coupe on page 67 looks stock except for paint.I wonder how many are kit cars.

alsancle Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I think they are almost all metal but can't confirm that, here is a link to the full thread discussing the pictures:http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=140516&highlight=willys+coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG57Roadmaster Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 West,This doesn't really apply here, but it's something I'd never seen or even heard about till yesterday.A 1938 Willys pickup...it goes hand-in-hand with <span style="font-style: italic">learning something new every day</span>.TGDaddy was a Rocket Scientist, Momma was a Youper.

Guest 40LUV Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Hey West,I emailed you pictures of the stock Red Willys I had referenced above since I can't seem to post pictures here. Also sent you the link to my Willys file where I scanned about 25 years worth of Willys pictures. Most were not stock, but some were. Did you get them or did your spam blocker knock them out? Used your email address listed in Antique Automobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 I appreciate your efforts. If there is a questionable e-mail sent to me, it will go into my Yahoo "bulk" folder. Then I have to manually delete anything/everything I consider trash. If the subject line looks like it has nothing to do with my work or personal life, I will delete it. I suggest that you put AACA in the subject line, or 1940 Willys, or something automotive related. If you did that, I didn't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
