For 1999, we had a new show car - a 1933 Willys Model 77 Coupe. A rarity nowadays in light of many Fiberglas replicas, our car features an original all steel body, although the rest is not exactly as the Willys- Overland Corporation envisaged it!
More than any other, this car epitomises the Sixties Gasser - and in fact, this very car was campaigned on the strip thirty years ago! Returned to the street in the Seventies, it has latterly been transformed into a truly nostalgic street rod with the most modern touches.
