Howdy from Arizona! I am the proud new owner of a 1959 Willys Wagon. I have always loved the lines on them, but never really went looking for one. Last year, not too far from home, I spotted this old wagon sitting out in a field behind an equally derelict-looking house and barn.

Finally, after driving by it on many occasions, I left my card on it with the note: "If you ever want to sell this, please call me." Months later (this past Monday) I get a phone call out of the blue...and the ride begins!
Here she is at "the Jeep House" with some of her new sisters:

I own and operate Barlow Jeep Rentals and Sedona Jeep School, so I know TJ's and JK's inside and out, and have logged thousands of hours in CJ's, YJ's, and "other" brands, too, BUT I am a complete babe in the woods with this Willys, and loving it! I have so many questions, I don't even know where to start, but I will be pestering all of you after I exhaust the "search" function. (Like: Where can I buy a new gas tank? Is there even an oil filter on this thing? Where is the button to roll up the windows?
)
Great site--very helpful already! Looking forward to hanging out in the tree house here.
Happy trails,
