Wow...great pictures!....I would say that those pic's are from the early 60's......if you look at the front wheels on Georges Willys, there Wells Foundary wheels which weren't produced till the early to mid 60's in London. Funny thing about those Wells wheels.....the centers were held together with screws. I'm lucky to say I have one hanging on the wall of my shop. Looking forward to seeing more.....so what's your connection with these photo's'?

My connection was being there.
I lived in Hamilton at the time and was at Cayuga quite a bit.

The Wells two piece wheels didn't last long on the market. The screws caused problems and the center of one of mine cracked within a week of installation. The one piece drag race Wells wheels were very popular and it would be nice to find a set . Ontario George Gray's Willys was purchased by the Roung brothers from Brantford. I wonder where it is now.

I don't know where the original one is but George has been putting together a replica of the 33 Willys he campaigned.
