Classic car profile: 1941 Willys Americar

The 1941 Willys Americar was roomier than any early Willys product, but it had just the right looks and just the right dimensions to make it an outstanding Hot Rod. In the early days of the sport, the drag strips of America were filled with Willys "gassers" setting race records. They have an awesome, stout stance that commands attention. As demand grew for original Willys coupes that would be converted to drag cars, hot rods and street rods, demand soon exceeded supply and glass bodied cars were fabricated and grew in popularity. The 1941 Willys fiberglass bodies are patterned off the original steel car, but have upgrades that do not sacrifice authenticity. This example, pictured here, has been put together in Pro-Street touring custom style and is ready to cruise!
