From Jonathan Welsh on Deer Isle, Maine. Willys-Overland and Kaiser Jeep built these no-nonsense pickups from 1947 to 1965 with surprisingly few changes. Engines gained displacement and power, eventually growing to six cylinders from four. But visually they all seem pretty much the same. Grille details place this one in the 1950-53 range. Renowned industrial designer Brooks Stevens penned the truck and later came up with the Jeep Wagoneer, which also had legs (produced from 1962 to 1991 and making a comeback, in name at least, this year).
AL: See the 1954 Willys Jeep station wagon we caught a while back. And a '59 Jeep Pickup this spring. Yer basic Willys Jeep CJ in Colorado Springs. A 1957 Willys Jeep FC-170. And, oh yeah, the Willys street rod.
