coolest thing I found on tonight's walk (which included a 160 pound black furry pig) was this Willys!

 

wild Willys, had a engine in the trunk just to run the 6-71, and pulled a 11.43 seconds and 120 mph at San Fernando

Don Clarkson's unique solution for the power robbing supercharger was a 331up front, and a tiny Johnson oil-burner in back. 

Described in the Feb. '59 HRM only as a "war-surplus" four-banger, the two-stroke devoted all 60 of its horses to driving a trunk-mounted GMC 6-71 supercharger. 

 Another, unsaid benefit was relocating the supercharger's weight rearward, enhancing what little bite was available from skinny, recapped slicks

1922 unusual advertising gadget, a Klitter Klatter, with Willys Overland. Of all the advertising I've ever seen, this is a first

 In 1922 Irving J. Halpern introduced the Klitter-Klatter from his House of Favors company in New York City

His note to the trade read: "We respectfully submit for your approval the latest fascinating novelty, a noise making device that has created such a sensation in New York that we are swamped with inquiries from all over the states.

 Klitter-Klatter is constructed purely of wood and is a great noise making device that produces a most pleasing yet loud noise. It serves a double purpose as a most unique favor. Klitter-Klatter takes the place of hand clapping. As an advertising medium it's extremely interesting and without competition."

Chesapeake and Ohio Willys Wagon

a guy with a wrecking yard, and a lot of skill with customizing, went all out on making a better looking Willys by adding some Mercury

built as a fill in project from several cars at his local auto wreckers. 

For the complete driveline, chassis and suspension they used a 1940 Willys. It was because of this base that it maintained its Willys ownership and licensing tag as well as the W insignias on the hubcaps, header etc. 

The most important body item was the cowl, dash, firewall, a-pilliars and the windshield and all trim items for this major portion of the project taken from a 1940 Mercury 4 door convertible. This donor Merc also supplied the hood and doors. 

The sides of the hood were trimmed and the doors were cut and mounted in a suicide enter position.

The front fenders and the header panel where donated from a 1940 Hudson. The rear 1/4's behind the doors and the rear fenders back too and including the taillamps were from a 1951 Chevrolet 2 door.

interesting choice on how this owner wants their Willys to look after a paint job... it's different.
