Title: 1955 Willys Custom/Bermuda/Aero
Post by: WhatchaTalkingBoutWillys on August 22, 2012, 02:22:25 AM

Hello fellow Willys fans,
I recently purchased a 55 Willys Custom and i wanted to know if the bumpers are made of stainless steel or are they chrome? Two ways to clean them and im afraid to damage them. Also, does anyone have a mechanics manual in pdf or doc format to download? Cheers, RODI

Willys used chrome plated steel bumpers on the 52-55 cars. In 1955, they were Kaiser passenger car units. Your car should have the 226 engine so the 1951 and up Kaiser shop manual would work for the drivetrain.

There is a blue/black cover Mechanics Manual for the 1955 Willys passenger cars.  It contains info on the 226 and the 685 (F-head 6) engines as it was intended for domestic and export product.
