I was watching Fast N' Loud where they bought and restored / modified a 1954 Woodill Wildfire (I don't think they should have modified it, but that's another discussion).
Anyway, kinda cool car and even cooler story. :D (I never heard of them before, so I did a little surfing and wanted to share)
Fast N' Loud episode
The one on the show had a Ford Flathead and running gear, but they started with Willys Jeepster running gear, and also tried Dodge, Buick, and Cadillac running gear.


Good article and history: WOODILL WILDFIRE 1952 - 1956
I also heard that there was a link to the Corvette development somewhere in this process,
