November 1918, my Grandfather's 1917 Willys Knight. I know that it had the unique sleeve valve engine, but was it the optional 65 hp V8?? Which might qualify it as a musclecar??
I'm sure my Dad's technology minded older brothers had a hand in choosing this car. The building in front of the car was the original farm house, converted to a garage/shop with a drive over service pit like the quick oil change places today.
Story is that one of my Uncles was drafted to serve in WWI. His brother drove him to Fort Des Moines to enlist, 240 miles round trip. Note tire chains. When they got there he was told the war is over, go home. - Bill W
