Willys America is another important page of the American automotive history book that emerged in the pre-World War II era. From 1937 until 1942, the company produced sedans, coupes, station wagons, and pickup trucks. Back then, the Americans had issues such as engine problems, a lack of replacement and repair parts, and the inability to provide after-sale support. Ironically, this adversity birthed the transformation of American vehicles into hot rods. Its small and light body structure made it an ideal choice for use as a donor car or as a fiberglass model. What we have here is one such staggering 1941 Willy's Americar Coupe Pro Street shoehorned with a whopping V8 engine. With 3,500 miles on its clock, this Hot Rod is ready to give your competitors a run for their money.
