Vehicle Description
This 1956 Willys Station Wagon 4x4, with its striking two-tone blue
and white exterior, stands as a robust emblem of classic SUV
design. Rolling on painted steel wheels and encased in tires sized
at 225/75R15, this vehicle merges a rugged aesthetic with practical
capability. The clean lines and consistent gapping of the body
panels accentuate its structured form, while its simple yet
eye-catching color palette echoes a style from a time when SUVs
were as much about function as form.
Inside, the gray vinyl bucket seats contrast subtly with hints of
blue, offering a straightforward yet inviting cabin experience. The
flooring, finished in matching rubber, surrounds the floor-mounted
shifter, anchoring the no-frills, work-ready theme of the interior.
Overhead, a well-maintained headliner complements the painted dash
that houses an unassuming gauge cluster, which is both functional
and fitting for the vehicle's vintage. Notably, a modern touch
includes a Bluetooth speaker tucked in the driver's side glove box,
adding a contemporary convenience to the classic setting.
Mechanically, the Willys is equipped with a 226 CI inline-6 engine,
known as the Super Hurricane, which is paired with a 3-speed manual
transmission. This setup provides a straightforward driving
experience, free of unnecessary complications. The engine bay is
tidy, showcasing a commitment to maintaining the vehicle's
operational integrity. Manual steering and drum brakes keep the
driver connected to the road, offering a direct, engaging driving
experience. Additionally, the undercarriage features leaf springs
with shocks, a single exhaust system, and a Dana 44 rear axle, all
contributing to its durable off-road prowess.
