1957 Service Station Willys

So here is a great shot, a boy and his Willy's Jeep.

As you can read on the Willys, it served the bulk of its life as a Service Station Willys in Schuylerville, NY north of Albany.

This jeep came with a plow, and 2 bumpers that are heavy duty. A top that is very unique, with a little light on top. It is a little different than Willys from that era, as it is meant to be a workhorse.

Our plan would be to keep the look, but also make it possible to also be a more standard looking Willys. The frame is not good, it has some holes in it. This has an engine, that may run. The first thing we will be doing with this Willy is taking off the parts that are solid and wirebrush it and prime it. This is the project jeep, the second one is a parts jeep that I will introduce in the next post.
