jimoshel Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 It's NOT a Jeep. Like the tag says, it's manufactured by Willys who later built the vehicle that came to be known as 'Jeep', Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I wonder if it's got a flathead four in it. Would really love to see the power plant. Hopefully it gets restored and not chopped up for some stupid hot rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deziped Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 I owned a couple of Wilys Overlands, mostly 50 - 52 models. here's one of them. This may have been a 48-49, to long ago to be accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be a 1947-1949. They didn't come out with the 'V' grill until 1950. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richasco Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 It's a beautiful car for sure. It's more Willys-Knight than Willy's Americar. It will have a large sleeve-valve six in it. I posted a link on the aaca for sale forum, hopefully it will be restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
