Warning: Viewing this black beauty could melt your senses and can cause the
need to carry a drool towel for easy clean-up... Ok,
that may be a bit extreme but this Hot Rod will attract
attention...
You are looking at a super slick double nickel wagon that has
been restored to perfection (twice) by the well known Midwest
show car builder "Harry Willet" Coachworks of Chicago
Illinois (www.willettspecials.com)
Harry has won many top builder awards since the early
70's including the prestigious "Americas Most
Beautiful Roadster" Title at the 2009 LA Grand National
Roadster Show...
Originally purchased/owned by a California family
for over 40 years, upon passing of the original owner,
the Nomad was transferred to his Illinois nephew during
the mid 90s. The nephew chose to have this family jewel
restored by Harry Willett Coachworks with a high end "resto-rod"
format using the original chassis. The entire
restoration was completed in 1999 and subsequently was
trailered to many shows logging only 1,700 miles until 2007
when a divorce forced the nephew to sell her to the
current owner...
The current so-cal owner
wanted that perfect late model driver and appropriately
chose the original builder Harry Willet to freshen up
this beauty one more time. It was then shipped back to
Willets Coachworks where it received a Art Morrison GT
Chassis & Suspension along with fabricated 19 gallon
fuel tank, custom Stainless Steel Exhaust & Headers,
Rack-N_Pinion Power Steering, 4 Wheel Power Disc Brakes
and much more. Basically, while the body was off the
chassis Harry updated everything with the final tab this
time exceeding $50,000 bones. Second restoration
completed in May 2008 and about 4,100 miles of fun... your
turn :)
In closing, if it has not
already, this car in person will knock yer socks off and
curl yer toes! What an exceptional car with great
history. Study the photos and don't' miss this double nickel... Good Day! |
