Station Wagon
Chassis #: 5416847068
Industrial designer Brooks Stevens designed the Jeep Wagon in the mid-1940s. Willys, who were known to have limited finances, did not make their own bodies. Instead, the Brooks-designed bodies were designed so that the bodies could be built by sheet metal fabricators. The steel body was efficient to mass-produce and was easier to maintain than the rear wood-bodied station wagon versions at the time.Introduced in 1946, the first-generation Jeep station wagon was a product of the Willys Motor Company of Toledo, Ohio. Production was phased out during the 1965 model year, after a nearly two-decade run.These all-steel vehicles were marketed as a 'Utility Wagon' instead of station wagons because Willys preferred the image of a truck builder, then as a car maker. Both two-wheel drive and 4x4 configurations were available.
This Willys Station Wagon is powered by a Continental built 6-226 'Super Hurricane' inline-six. It has a three-speed manual transmission with an overdrive and four-wheel drive.
