Nicknamed "Low Standard," this 1932 Willys custom sedan with a

　　Standard Oil-themed hot-rod tanker was built by Eddie's Rod &

　　Custom out of Hiawatha, IA. It is powered by a Nissan SD22

　　turbo-diesel 2.2-liter inline 4-cylinder engine paired with a

　　Nissan 5-speed manual transmission. The original front axle and

　　suspension were modified from a Ford mono-leaf spring setup. In the

　　back is a Ford 9-inch rear end with a set of leaf springs, helper

　　airbags and a set of vintage lever-arm shock absorbers. The

　　steering is a gearbox from a Chevy Vega and is now chain-driven.

　　The drum brakes were ditched for Wilwood disc brakes. This '32

　　Willys is quite different from its stock form. The back doors were

　　removed, and the rear section of the body was moved forward to make

　　it look like an extended-cab pickup. The lower rear sections were

　　fabricated to cover up the original rear wheel openings and a

　　custom tail pan/bed was created from scratch. A new channeled floor

　　was created to tuck a full-custom frame, the top was chopped 2

　　inches and the roof opening was filled in. Custom touches on the

　　body include the grille being sectioned 6 inches, roof-mounted '37

　　Oldsmobile taillights were added, and the original wood structures

　　were removed and remade out of steel. The body is painted in

　　Glasurit Admiral Blue and the doors have a logo painted that

　　represents Hunter Field of Cedar Rapids, IA, which was a local

　　airport created after the end of WWII. A set of 18-inch front and

　　20-inch rear '36 Dodge high-clearance wheels give the right stance.

　　The rear fenders are modified originals to the '32. The interior

　　resembles the cockpit of a WWII plane. A set of seats from a B-25

　　bomber were added, and between them is the throttle control from a

　　'37 Bristol Blenheim bomber that was turned into a shifter for the

　　transmission. The steering column has a control yoke from a Convair

　　440 airliner. There is only one gauge on the dash, and it is for

　　airspeed, controlled by a pitot tube on the roof. The interior is

　　finished with a blue/gray carpet and the rest in buffalo-hide

　　distressed leather. The early 1900s Standard Oil horse-drawn tanker

　　is painted in Silver Moon Metallic with the STANAVO logo (Standard

　　Aviation Oil - a branch of Standard Oil Company) also has storage

　　inside. "Low Standard" won First Place at the 2018 SEMA Show in the

　　truck category. **SOLD AS PAIR WITH LOT #1102.1** **TITLED AS 1932
