1933 Willys, kinda funky, just a bit out of the typical looks for 1933 car design

  2. Oddly enough in later years Willys cars, with a little tweaking, turned into some of the fastest drag racers of all time.

  3. Those metal wheels are something else.

  4. Those Willys body's often were used as a basis for gassers because they were small, light, and somewhat aerodynamic.

    1. Do you wanna go sit in the penalty box? Cause telling me something that I already am QUITE familiar with, and have posted about extensively, over the course of 15 years, with hundreds of photos and dozens of stories, along with a link to some other website? That's the stupid shit that gets you a time out in the penalty box.
      Hold your right hand out in front of you, waist high, palm down.
      Now with your left hand, raise your left hand shoulder high and bring it down with a ferocious slap on the back of the right hand.
      Then say out loud : That was stupid, don't tell Jesse to go look at some other website for something he posts about often.
      Now look up Mitchell's 33 Willys.
      See, I can do this shit from memory.
      Do not tell me that I need to look up stuff I've posted, on someone else's website.
      It's a god damn insult.

    2. I meant to say Mike Mitchell's 33 Willys. World's Fastest Hippie

  5. It is interesting that by 1933 Willys was starting to integrate headlights into fenders while everybody else was still keeping their headlights as independent pods on bars across the front of the gril.

    1. astute observation! Ford didn't integrate until the 1937 model I think
