Willy Clark's 1927 Ford

1927 Ford Model T roadster pick up, owned and built by San Diego Prowlers member Willy Clark of San Diego, California. Willy built the roadster while he was working for Red Watson's body shop. Red's shop was not a custom shop, they did mostly insurance work. It was featured in Hot Rod Magazine in the 1950s or the 1960s, while Willy owned it. In the early 1970s it was owned by Mike. Roger Honey owned it in the mid to late 1970s. Back then no on wanted a heavy Cadillac and Hydro transmission in their hot rod, so Roger built a new chassis with a Jaguar rear end for it; "The new chassis featured four wheel disc brakes and a Chevrolet engine. Stake of the art at the time. I started racing desert bikes, and the car went into storage. After I thought about it for a while, since the car has so much San Diego history, I had to take it back like it was originally built."

In 2015 Roger Honey told Kustomrama that he remembered the car from back in the days; "When I was a kid, I would go by Red Watson’s body shop in National City to watch Willy Clark build this same Roadster, so it’s near & dear to my heart."
