This is an AEC Reliance bus I was co-driving from London to India; it is seen here, parked on the Khyber Pass; this was a popular stop for passengers to take photographs. From here, through the heat haze, you get a glimpse of a vast plain stretching as far as the eye could see – the first sight of the sub-continent of Pakistan and India.
This sun kissed rusty gold 1937 Willys - Overland appeared at the 2020 Community Church Car Show held in Kansas City Missouri at the Vineyard Baptist Church.
The Willys Americar was a line of automobiles produced by Willys-Overland Motors from 1937 to 1942, either as a sedan, coupe, station wagon or pickup truck. The coupe version is a very popular hot rod choice, either as a donor car or as a fiberglass model.
The car started production in 1937 with somewhat traditional styling, a product of the internal reorganization that turned Willys-Overland Motor Company into Willys Overland Motors. It was itself an evolution of the aging Willys 77. When Joseph W. Frazer joined the company in 1938 he decided that a modern-looking and cheap compact car was the answer for the struggling Willys. Models 37, 38 and 39 gradually evolved into a more Ford-like appearance, culminating in the very much DeLuxe-like '40 model.
Critical four-cylinder engine failures, lack of replacement and repair parts and the sheer lack of assistance from Willys turned many Americars into perfect targets for the nascent hot rod community - the Go Devil engine was replaced with many other alternatives, some weaker, some much stronger than the original specification. It became such a favorite that today a 100% stock Americar is a very rare find.

Less than two months after passing from government to private operation, 'The Overland' Adelaide to Melbourne overnight passenger service catches the late evening light as it passes Ambleside in the Adelaide Hills.
It is being hauled by a GE-powered, Goninan-built NR class loco, under a hook and pull arrangement with government owned operator National Rail.
At the time (1997) it was still a daily overnight service; today its future hangs by a thread and it only operates twice-weekly as a daylight train.

The interstate passenger service between Adelaide and Melbourne 'The Overland' has now only three return trips left before the government subsidy it enjoys runs out
So I went for a nostalgic journey today from Melbourne to Adelaide, just for fun. A couple of weeks ago the train was sold out, but with numerous cancellations due to the virus thingy, around 50% of intending passengers had cancelled.
UPDATE: As it turns out this was probably the last run of Australia's oldest interstate through passenger service - due to government virus restrictions, despite three more return trips planned, as of Sunday 22/3 the train was mothballed and is unlikely to return.

Willys Overland Whippet - looks to be around a 1928. Part of the vintage car and tractor display at Parsons Farm Market in Keremeos, British Columbia.
In this photo the AEC bus (YRC 45) was not on its usual route as I'd taken it home to the quiet Hertfordshire village where I lived for a few days before the next trip left London for India on 14 November 1971.
On the side door was a summary of the route to India: Belgium, Germany, Austria, Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India. This particular bus never went further on to Nepal.
