This discussion really belongs in the Willys section.  They are certainly good looking vehicles and when one is customized as this one is it is much much nicer than the originals were.  I was working in a gas station during high school in 1948 and had an opportunity do drive a customers almost new 1948 Wlllys wagon and remembering then what a basic car it was with many rattles and poor brakes.  They were not very popular then and cars have certainly come a long way in the almost seventy years since that time.  This one should bring a good price!

  A 59 Willys wagon attended the National in Prescott and won an award.

It seems to be a panel truck (rear doors) yet with side windows. Of course if you had a saw you could cut out the side panels and mount regular station wagon windows.
The 59 Wagon that won an award at the 1st Prescott National was owned by local resident Bill Delony. It had a Chevy 90 degree V6 with a Mallory dual point distributor and an Edelbrock manifold.  All 90 degree Chevy V6s were originally equipped with HEI distributors. Bill's wagon had a 1 piece windshield, yet split rear windshield and tall roof.

Now that I look at the engine pictures of the garish Willys (panel) station wagon, it occurs to me that the 134 has a road draft tube! All the HJs and post WWII Willys 4 cyls I have seen had pipes from the oil filler to the intake manifold under the carb so the crankcase was closed.  That is, blowby in the crankcase was sucked back into the manifold to be burned. This pre-dated PCV valves which date from 1961 (California) and 1963 (All US).

Yes, it is a panel truck with the rare side window option. Notice that the window behind the doors does not slide open like the passenger models do.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the specifications under the photos indicate that the engine is an F-161. I am under the impression that the F head 161 is the semi overhead valve 6 used in the Willys Aero and the Darrin. the Flathead version 161 is the L head. Steve

Notice that the engine is installed 180 deg. from the same engine in a Henry J.

Engine looks like the 134 L-head used in WWII Jeeps. No F-head 161.
