Discovered in the rugged landscape of Wyoming in 1997, this
exceptional 1941 Dodge Power Wagon WC12 1/2-ton 4x4 embarked on a
journey to North Carolina, where it would undergo a painstaking and
comprehensive restoration. This endeavor was executed by a renowned
marque specialist who spared no expense in ensuring the vehicle was
returned to its original glory. The dedication and meticulous
attention to detail invested in this restoration were evident when
the esteemed Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) recognized
the exceptional quality of the Dodge Power Wagon, bestowing upon it
a Senior National First Place award in 2007. This prestigious
accolade was further solidified in 2010 when the AACA presented the
vehicle with a Grand National First Place prize, a testament to its
superior condition and historical accuracy. This Power Wagon WC12
was also highlighted in Wheels of Time magazine. This particular
Power Wagon holds the distinction of being an early production
model, adding to its rarity and collectability. Furthermore, it
belongs to a unique series produced for only a single year, making
it a highly sought-after piece of World War II history. The 1941
Dodge Power Wagon features a durable 217 cubic inch L-Head
6-cylinder engine, a 4-speed manual transmission for complete power
control, and a single-speed transfer case for enhanced off-road
capability. Accompanying this historically significant vehicle are
several original and period-correct items that further enhance its
value and authenticity. These include the AACA plaque,
commemorating its prestigious awards, and the trophies received for
its exceptional restoration. A rear cargo cover is also included,
adding to the vehicle's practicality and completing its period
appearance. The original maintenance manual provides valuable
insight into the vehicle's upkeep and operation. For extended
journeys, a jerry can is provided, and a first aid container is
included for added safety and preparedness. This meticulously
restored 1941 Dodge Power Wagon WC12 1/2-ton 4x4 represents a rare
