Given that this was not intended to directly compete directly with the existing station wagon market, and rode on a substantially shorter wheelbase, two doors certainly made sense. Rightfully, it could be called a compact wagon. In a world of strictly genuine-wood four-door wagons. The Willys was a true revolutionary with much to offer, with four-wheel drive, easy maintenance, ample space for its passengers, and safety beyond what other "woodies" (wood-bodied station wagons) offered at the time.If a classic car in outstanding condition throughout and ready to drive and enjoy for years to come has made it to your short-list, then do yourself a favor and come check out this 1962 Willys Jeep.
