Not surprising at all that YOU would have such a collection! Very cool! 😎 😎 One of the few cars that just seems to look better as a Gasser or Hotrod. Most folks could probably not identify a stock 1933 or '41 Willys. I've thought about "putting one back to stock" ...some collector beat me to it. That gray '41 is a 1/18 conversion back to stock. 😎

I've only ever known Willys from the Jeep and a few odds & ends in the post-war period. So seeing these 1930s beauties I've searched our Wiki friends and find the most amazing history. Many thanks and also, a fabulous collection of suped-up rods.

These Willys look great and that conversion to stock is really good and a pretty unique version ! It is excellent they are being preserved.

@chris - The back-to-stock conversion is DEFINITELY unique and a good chance to be one-of-a-kind. It's actually a little surprising that someone beat you to the punch on that one. It's definitely something right up your alley and something you might do.

@marty-johnson Yes, yes, yes, and yes. 😀 😀
However..... I'm sure ONLY A FEW people actually realize that YOUR 1/18 Willys pick-up was fabricated by you. IT'S NOT a mass produced 1/18 diecast. It's a one-of-a-kind.... that looks fantastic! 😎 😎
