Forget "concours restoration," the '50 Willys Wagon offered here has been returned to service with a bit of a Rat Rod vibe, and a good deal more attitude than most anything you'd find competing for a concours judge's attention. It may not turn the heads of concours judges, but this special Willys has been the recipient of many awards, including at 2017 the AutoRama event. Solid, reliable, fun, interesting, and truly unique, this Wagon is something special.
The largely stock exterior features original metal painted ivory-over-bronze, apparently the livery color for the good folks at the mythical "Willy's Hot Rods," as the hand-painted front-door lettering suggests. The paint is actually vintage paint that has been clear coated with a matte clear coat in order to "preserve" the patina. Body-panel condition is very good, appearing never to have suffered major accident damage. Original trim pieces include round side mirrors, chrome door handles on both doors and rear lift-up two-frame-window "hatch," chrome headlight surrounds and hood trim piece, spring-loaded hood hold-downs (as seen on WWII Jeeps), exposed gas cap, and both "Willys" and script "4 Wheel Drive" emblems. Decidedly not original are the "bullet" taillights from a '59 Cadillac, the orange steel wheels, the extended-frame front winch, extended-frame rear cargo bumper (apparently added after the slight body damage occurred on the right-rear corner of the body), and patina chrome front bumper with over-rider bar. Goodyear all-terrain tires are mounted.
Inside, the "perfectly less than perfect" character continues, beginning with a leopard-skin cloth throw on the driver's seat. Orange paint matching that on the wheels, is the primary color on the dashboard and window trim. Brown vinyl upholstery covers the front-row bench seat, behind which there is no second row, only an expansive, ribbed-floor cargo area. "Pioneer tools" (a shovel and ax) are mounted on the driver's side of said cargo area ahead of the drop-down tailgate. On the passenger side, the spare tire is mounted. The dash features simple, center-mounted instruments (the Willys-Overland-branded odometer reads: 38,189.9) augmented with aftermarket gauges for oil pressure and engine temperature, glove box, original "W" branded steering wheel, restored 3-speed manual transmission shifter and 4-wheel drive and winch-operation levers (labeled with operating and safety instructions). A fabric headliner is in place and features a whimsical stuffed mouse... just because.
