The Ford Barn

Sorry for this not being model A related, but I hear the tv commentators at the auctions calling this type of vehicle different than I have always said. Like to hear you guys opinions. I am 55 and for my entire life it has always been Willy's (will-eees), the tv guys are now saying (will-iss) What do all of you say. Also, I have noticed whilst watching movies from the 30's-40's that they say
Koo-pay (coupe), I have always said Koop. Again, what is the general consensus.
Thanks in advance

CHuDWah · 02-08-2019, 04:16 PM

will-eees and koop - and I'd say the latter is Model A related

Will N · 02-08-2019, 04:30 PM

That "Willis" pronunciation seem to come from "people in the know" of how Mr Willys pronounced his name. But IMHO, if you want the name to be pronounced "Willis", spell it "Willis". Willys is the spelling of a word that is pronounced "Willees".

Koopay would only be correct if there was an acute accent over the final e in Coupe. There ain't, so it's Koop.

Nuf said.

Languages always evolve, and not necessarily for the better.

The thought of pronouncing the name of a car body style like the name of a chicken habitat gives me the willies.

While we are on the subject, does 'phaeton' have two syllables, or three?

Thanks

Oldbluoval · 02-08-2019, 05:56 PM

Willys was a motor company founded by John Willys. The name is not a possessive name of Willy's. I've always heard it pronounced as if Willis not like possessive Willie
Just WIK

Pete · 02-08-2019, 08:03 PM

While on this subject, how about the dipshit announcers on TV pronouncing it "Deezill".
It is not spelled that way and definitely not pronounced that way.

Have you ever noticed how the circle track races almost always have an ex racer to keep the regular TV announcer in line on pronouncing and technical info?

Here's how Webster pronounces diesel. (click on the little speaker). I'm not sure how that is different from "deezil". How do you pronounce it"

MickeyT · 02-08-2019, 08:57 PM

I grew up with Willis but then again I'm from the South and we talk a little different. At least my Yankee wife tells me. The coupe is a koop.

37 Coupe · 02-08-2019, 09:03 PM

On another note but related Coupe as in Coop? Or Coupe' as in Coopay? Always coop to me like chicken coop but my English teacher 56 years ago said Ward Cleaver was correct Coopay.

Webster needs to get out in the real world.
I have been in the industry for 67 years and never heard it pronounced with a "z"
till TV came along.

It is pronounced, dee sul. Accent on "dee".

That's not quite true. They pronounce things how they are written.

Except for "coupe". This has obviously led to much confusion.

As far as I am concerned, the willees was parked next to the koop, down by the crick.. let's jump in the fay e ton,
And go see if it's still there.

ursus · 02-09-2019, 12:34 AM

Diesel was invented by a German engineer and his name and namesake fuel is pronounced "deezil" in German. The term coupe comes from the French 'coupe'', where it is pronounced "coo-pay". We Americans tend to have our own versions of pronunciation for foreign words as well as some interesting regional variations on English words.

Coz it's pronounced Wedn - s - day.
On another common mispronunciation, most people pronounce Everest as ever - rest whereas the family of the man after whom the mountain is named, pronounce it Eve - rest.
Wonder where this could take us!

I used go to the liberry to look up proper pronunciation but now I use the internets. Does anyone know what IDK means? No one I ask seems to know either.

Terry, NJ · 02-09-2019, 08:54 AM

There seems to be a fantasy or pastime to restructure pronunciations. Since my uncle bought one in the early 50s, it's been "Willees" and willys it shall remain. If you want play with some brains, Try W.A.C.O. (Weaver Aircraft co) This name is pronounced like "Whaco", not Waaco like the city in Texas. Not many people outside the aviation world know this. So if you want to be thought of as erudite, thoughtful, and intellectually superior, find a word that you can mispronounce and make it seem like they've they've been mispronouncing all their lives. This not new, when my wife was pregnant, the nurse called out the size of the opening in "Sonimeters". I asked, what the heck was a "Sonimeter", It was her version of Centimeter. That was 45 years ago. Pure snobbery!

Keith True · 02-09-2019, 09:35 AM

There was a man in Candia N.H.that had a Waco in the early 70's.He pronounced it,Wawco.Interesting fellow,he claimed he won the plane in a card game just after returning from Korea,where he was a helicopter pilot.

I've always pronounced the word as Willis . I take the word willys - Willis to be the last name of the owner of the company that built it . .Willys sounds like it belongs to Willy .

How about "turbine" and " turbin" ? Watching a story on the wind turbine farms being built, the engineers called them turbins, defininately wrong, as we know a turbin is a form of head cover.

It's also a regional thing.Where I am there is no R in,corn,car,wiper,etc.A lot of times there is an R in the word wash though.A couple of years ago we were at a Christmas party(no R) at the salvage yard.(no R in yard either)A friend was talking about a show called Pawn Stars.We don't have cable or watch much TV,so we didn't know what he was talking about.My wife said why have a show about ponn stars? If I want to see ponn stars I will watch a ponn movie.That's how we pronounce it,so that's what she thought he was talking about.

See Youtube for a genuine. official 1940 Ford advertising film ("The New1940 Ford", as I recall) announcing the new "koo-pay". SinceFord said "koo-pay", that's good enough for me (and should be for all of you, too)!

Guess I will add since I started this nonsense, ive always said fa-ton. Our English gents may have a better grasp on this one though- 'Brough Superior'. I say broff, but I have heard many say bro (to me that's someone on the street, lol).
btw, living just below the mason Dixon line, there is a mix between creek and crick. I grew up with crick and that's where it stands, but then again my grandparents were from the deepest, darkest part of VA!
