NOTHING SAYS ‘GASSER’ LIK 1941 WILLYS ‘AMERICAR’ STUFFED WITH A BIG BLOCK HEMI !

ORIGINALLY AS AN AFFORDABLE EVERYDAY WORK CAR, THEY HAD MODERATE SALES

SUCCESS IN THE 30s AND 40s. AFTER THE WAR, WILLYS CONCENTRATED ON BUILDING JEEPS. THE FIFTIES DRAG RACERS WANTED SOMETHING LIGHTER THAN THE AVERAGE POPULAR CAR AT THAT TIME. THE 100 INCH WHEELBASE WILLYS WAS THERE JUST WAITING TO BE LOVED.

COLORFUL , LIGHTWEIGHT , PLENTIFUL AND PERFECT FOR ALL THE GAS CLASSES FROM SMALL BLOCKS TO MONSTER HEMI’S. NOT BAD FOR A 90 YEAR OLD DESIGN.
