My '38 Willys @ Door Sedan Concept-builders Everette/Chuck Gray/Ken Swanson
by mgbrattland＠gerlecreek.com 04 May '26

04 May '26

I havbe been working on learning the history on my '38 Willys 2 Door Sedan built originally beginning around November 2004 in Ill..taken a while to do so...All laid out in the link below and a short note..These old cars all have stories...mgb https://www.gerlecreek.com/1938-willys-2-door-sedan Yesterday after numbers of tries, I finally hooked up with Chuck Gray, the son of the father and son team of car builders, GraysGarage, Metamora, IL who built the my Willys into a 2 door before selling it to Ken Swanson of Galesburg, Ill who took their roller body and chassis and finished it including everything else, including drivetrain, etc, except interior which Don Nielsen (Madera, Ca) did and JAG Chrome work done by Buddy Barnhard (Fresno, Ca). I have updated the history and included the concept drawing. The Grays are Ford people. Everette is now 90 and retired and Chuck is 60 and finishing his last car, a '39 Lincoln Zephir right now. So they build all their cars with Ford drivetrains, Jag Rear ends and use Heidt's front ends. They are well know for their many '32 Fords. The concept drawing is of the Willys to look like a '38 Ford 2 door sedan(Pete when you see it you will see Dennis's '38 2 door in it) When you see the concept drawing which was used and given to Andy Glase and Sons in Worms, Nebraska to do all the custom metal work on the car, including the 2 door conversion, with stretched door, shaved door handles, probably the dash, firewall and custom inner fender wells so the Willys could be made to follow the concept drawing... The link has all this including the drawing. Really enjoyed talking with Chuck and have appreciated all of you with bits of history on this car. Thanks to Doyle Stewart originally remembering the Ill roots to this car when I went searching for it in 2024....mgb CDR Mike Brattland, USN (Ret.) <mailto:mgbrattland@gerlecreek.com> mgbrattland(a)gerlecreek.com <mailto:mgbrattland@brattland.org> mgbrattland(a)brattland.org Admin/Moderator SanDiegoCarGuys List & Calendar of Events <mailto:sandiegocarguys@brattland.org> sandiegocarguys(a)brattland.org 619 454-0496 '38 Willys 2 Dr Sedan Webmaster for <http://www.brattland.org/> www.brattland.org <http://www.overthehillgang.com/> www.overthehillgang.com <http://www.overdrivehotrodnews.com/> www.overdrivehotrodnews.com <http://www.gerlecreek.org/> www.gerlecreek.org <http://www.helobubbas.com/> www.helobubbas.com <http://www.prowlers.org/> www.prowlers.org <http://www.gerlecreek.com/> www.gerlecreek.com <http://www.ford6vcarburetion.com/> www.ford6vcarburetion.com <http://www.westcoastwillysclub.com/> www.westcoastwillysclub.com <http://www.nssha.org/> www.nssha.org <http://www.nhahistoricalsociety.org/> www.nhahistoricalsociety.org <https://sh60fhoas.nhahistoricalsociety.org/> https://sh60fhoas.nhahistoricalsociety.org/

Not a Willys…but maybe you know someone…
by Tilghman Rogers 02 May '26

02 May '26

Greetings all. I know it’s not a Willys, but maybe you will know someone who would be interested… I’ve also got a 1958 Nash Metropolitan survivor project, complete car. Only surface rust in places. It’s complete, but missing soft tissue from the seats. The car is in Pasadena, MD. My phone number is below. Thanks, Tilghman Tilghman Rogers (667) 212-6199 > _______________________________________________ > Willysguys mailing list -- willysguys(a)westcoastwillysclub.com > To unsubscribe send an email to willysguys-leave(a)westcoastwillysclub.com
