One car in this video is not a Willys, see if you can spot it and let me know. It looks very close to a 1940 Willys Coupe but a few things are different. I left it in as an Easter Egg find. Thanks for watching! Tom
As a 13 year old kid I won first place contests two years in a row with the two 1940 Willys I built. 57 years later I still have the model in a glass case and the trophy’s. It looks amazing like the first Willy in this video with the blue tinted windows. My model has the same blue tinted windows… but is better looking! I wish I could share a photograph with you guys!
I would be happy to, you will be amazed at the similarities of my 57 year old model i built as a 13 year old kid back in the day. i will try to find the local news paper i was featured in holding the trophy as well. Just give me a day or so.
The first Willys is my favorite and dream gasser. I took a video of it and posted it on TikTok, and it got 16k+ views! Glad to see your account doing well!
Yes, the video was shot at Great Lakes, Byron Dragway (Illinois), and Rock Falls in Wisconsin. Great Lakes is an awesome drag strip, be sure to go down there for Memorial Day weekend or on the 4th of July for the Night of Fire event. It will blow your mind away with the amount of cool cars that come there.

1939/40 Ford business man's coupe?
There's a 40 Ford In there. I thought it was one I saw as a kid. It wasn't.
😂😂😂😂❤🎉@@goldenwheeledbanshee9160
I built a lot of Headers for the Willys, back in the 50's & 60's, and Stone, Woods & Cook, Big John Mazmaiain were the badboys back then.
These Willys gassers are a page out of hotrod history. Beautiful, fast, rolling art

Pronounce it ‘Willies’ or ‘Willis’. Either way they have always been one of the coolest looking drag cars imo. Thank you Tom!
Awsome Visual Clarity to the Video! Thanks for Filming All this Footage & Editing it All Together. Another Great Video! 🤟☠️
Thanks for watching buddy 👍
Love the Henry-J's & the Anglia's Too! ❤
Love those Wlliy coupes
It doesn't get any better than this for Willys and Gasser fans !!!!!!!
Almost like being there. Love me them all. Orange pickup my favorite.
Time is getting closer to go get more content,
that warmer air is just around the corner, it's not coming fast enough
I feel the same way!
At 15:30 its a 40 Ford coupe
A Willys coupe will always and forever be drag racing royalty 👑
Best looking drag car.... EVER.
Back in the REAL DRAG RACE DAYS, LOVE THE ORANGE TRUCK, TIMELESS
Makes me want to get my car out of hibernation 👍🇺🇸
Three words, Stone, Woods & Cook.
This is at Great Lakes correct? I want to get down there this summer, just moved to Wi

It’s a 1940 Ford!
Wow there cool
Put a muffler on those damn things...
I thought I was having a "Hot Rod" flashback but I didn't see "Sleep at Violet Springs" on the trunk lid at 0:57 😊
👍 👍
