Willys Americar Coupé circa 1942
Willys-Overland produced this car between 1937-1942 though only the 1941-42 models were tagged with the ‘Americar’ name.
Its original powerplant was a 2.2 liter inline 4-cylinder nicknamed as the ‘Go-Devil’ engine. Despite the versatility of that drive train, the Americar coupé became a popular choice for many drag racers to modify as the basis for their race cars utilizing other brands of engines.
Btw, Willys is pronounced as ‘WILL-liss’, not ‘WILL-leez.’
