"An exciting, rare item with great potential to get back on the road again."

Description

The car has driven approximately 50 000 kilometers. The current owner’s uncle bought it new in 1937, and the current owner inherited it in 1975. The upholstery is original from 1937. The car was repainted earlier from brown to its current blue color. The body and interior are in good operational condition, except for several minor damages to the paint, as seen in the pictures. The car has been on display at the Härnösand Car Museum for 6-7 years. There is documentation available, including receipts and other items, that will be included with the car.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car is not drivable but rolls easily. The engine was renovated in the 1980s with new pistons from Björks Motor in Sundsvall. Since then, it hasn’t been used. When the current owner attempted to drive it to the inspection, the cylinder head gasket likely broke. It may be worth investigating if this engine shares any similarities with the engines in the Willys Jeep, as parts might be relatively easy to find in that case. No functions have been tested since a new battery is needed or if it can possibly be charged (likely not). During the photoshoot, it rolled easily, which is a good sign.

  • Interior condition:

    Unusually good original interior, but with moisture damage on the inside of the doors. Otherwise, please refer to the pictures for details.

  • Exterior condition:

    A fundamentally sound body with paint chips and minor imperfections. The car has an older repaint and is in used condition. Please refer to the pictures for details.

  • General condition:

    A very good, rare item that needs mechanical inspection, especially of the engine and its cylinder head gasket. Since the car hasn’t been in use for many years, all functions need to be checked thoroughly and any issues addressed before putting it back into operation.

Facts about the model

Model 37 by Willys was the first in the company’s history to feature a more streamlined body design. Previously, they had a more traditional design based on old horse-drawn carriages. The engine is a four-cylinder side-valve unit producing 48 horsepower. The car was considered a sturdy lightweight construction, and many were used in street and drag racing. The coupe version was particularly popular during that time.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
