<– Day 21 – Saturday May 19th: Mr. Infamous (Alaska Or Rust Presentation)

UPDATE: I’m still sick so no updates. We made it back to Pasco, where we will stay a few days before heading back to Seattle to help with Dad. In the meantime, Luciano updated the video of Hugo below by adding English subtitles for the Portuguese. Enjoy!

Original post November 14, 2018: On Sunday this video debuted at the Premiere Auto Show in Brazil at the Auto Show’s Jeep Booth. It features our good friend and co-Alaska participant Hugo Vidal. It’s mostly in Portuguese, but some is in English. You’ll see both my wife and I appearing in several clips. The title refers to Hugo as the First Citizen of Jeep Nation. Kudos to Luciano Falconi for his great videography.

 

Hugo also recently published a book on his trip, written in both English and Portuguese. http://www.ewillys.com/…/26/hugo-vidal-has-published-his-b…/

Product Merchandising Manual Circa 1955

Several months ago a reader purchased a product merchandising manual with over four hundred pages, used by the Willys Motors marketing department. Over the succeeding months, we scanned and assembled this into a PDF. I’m dating it at 1955 because it introduces the new CJ-5. It’s not entirely complete, but there’s lots in it.

I’d like to thank the generous reader for making this available to everyone! I wish everyone the best for 2019!!

1962 Wagon Maverick? Colchester, CT **SOLD**

December 24, 2018 • CATEGORIES: Willys Wagons • TAGS: . This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

Andy shared this one. It’s supposed to be a Maverick. That leads to the age old question, what is a Maverick. According to Grover’s site, the Maverick should have a serial number prefix of 58147. Some folks have argued that only the true Maverick was only made in 1959 (and was the first wagon to have a one-piece windshield).

“Willys Mavrick 4×2 Needs work, does not run has Buick V6 engine, standard on the floor. Rear quarters, door bottoms, floors, rockers were done once. Still have rear gate and glass but was converted to delivery doors only for the reason that my dad was “didn’t want to crawl over the gate to get stuff out of the back”. I have original trim to put back on it.I had big plans but life is life, sick of looking at it. Dont know miles on engine or wagon.Was my father’s and was our family car when I was a kid. If your not serious than let’s not waist each others time.”
