Models Offered
In 1946, Willys introduced an all-steel, truck-type, station wagon, using the tried and true 134-cubic inch “Go Devil” four-cylinder engine and a 104-inch wheelbase chassis. It was significant in that it was the first true all-steel station wagon offered by US manufacturers, though it was considered more of a truck than a car. It was Willys’ first car-type vehicle since the pre-war years.
