Great vehicle for a hot and humid summer day.

Based on the M38 on the plate, I was able to determine this is a Willys M38, one of over 45k produced between 1949-1952.

If you're referring to the "440" badge, that's a trim level and not an indication of displacement. Proof that the Germans did not invent mindless numbers. Now back to my 400 cu.in. Cadillac XT5...

Well, that's just weird and I learned something.   Thought it was a displacement badge like most of them.

And they are bringing back these historic trim designations for next year's electric Charger - more confusion to follow!!

Nope, just a car I saw at the local car show.  We were on our way to have lunch and saw the car show at the park so stopped in for an hour or so.  I only had 3% on my phone or would have taken more photos.  Nice E-types and ran into an old friend there with his Morgan

Nope.  My dad owned a 1967 Coronet 440 with a 318 V8.  The Coronet also had a "500" model.

I attended a car show in the town of Carman, Manitoba on Sunday. According to one of the participants, there were double the number of vehicles this year versus last.  There was lots to look at.
