One vehicle I wanted to highlight from the Wonderful World of Willys Wagons was Charley Crossley’s Wild Willys. I tried to located additional images of it, but the only ones I found were on the WWWW website. I liked Charley’s creativity, so I wanted to make sure readers saw it as well. You can read about Charley’s approach to building this Wagon here. Note the rumble seat in the back!

Wonderful World of Willys Wagons
I was doing a search for Wagon axles when I found this Wagon-based website: Wonderful World of Willys Wagons. It’s got some interesting, funny, silly stuff, including a description of a sprung front wagon clip. There’s a section of trains and jeeps titled Geeps & Jeeps. This site could easily be called the goofy world of wagons.
1963 Wagon Paducah, Ky **SOLD**
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $1800.
“I have a 63 Willys Wagon. It has the flathead 6cyl, 3spd trans, and all stock running gear. I was told it had been used in the Army but I have no proof of that. It does have a military data plate on the dash so it was used by some branch of the military early in its life. It was originally highway department yellow. My guess would be that it served on an air field or maintenance department for the Army or Air Corps. It runs and drives great and has a pretty decent body compaired to most of the other wagons I’ve seen. It has stock wheels and fairly new tires. It has the factory wooden slats still in the bed. THE BAD It does not have any brakes, and it has no title but I will provide you with a bill of sale. It was owned by a hunting club in AR and they never titled it. It is possible to obtain a title. Jeep is located in Paducah, KY and I’ll take $1,800 cash for it.”

(03/06/2010) Includes an overdrive. The seller and the state of Idaho both note that ‘Salt’ is not used on Idaho roads; however, just to splice hairs, while the state of Idaho might not use Sodium Chloride (aka table salt), they do use Calcium Chloride and Magnesium Chloride, both of which fall into the family of salts (aka a chemical product produced by reacting an acid with a base).
