Great photos. For some reason I never got this one or the Malco Mustang.

Love me some Gassers pic

When this one came out it had the black head lights. I changed them to clear.

Willys ... a budget American economy car from the '30's. But not always !

Since Ohio George was receiving Ford sponsorship, he was forced to exchange the Willys body...

... for the Mustang. It made no sense for Ford to sponsor a brand that wasn't under their automotive umbrella. If memory serves, (often unreliable so perhaps someone can confirm or refute) the A/GS rules stated the chassis had to be of a certain vintage. To meet the rulebook, the Mustang body was mounted on a pre-WWII era chassis.
