Clay has listed this wagon for sale. He noted it does lack a title and needs work. It does include a government plate.

“1959 Willys Jeep Station Wagon, note: no title. The legend, verbal only, was that this had been bought at a government surplus auction and this wagon had belonged to the US Forest Service in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The fact is it does have a brass government plate on the dash. Original 6-226 Continental Six cylinder engine, might run, original 3 speed transmission. Original part time 4WD. Rear step bumper, manual carb choke (which were US government specs). Lots of rust to go around. See photos. Where some trim is removed, the original Forest Service aqua green color is visible. It needs everything. But everything is available for it from current vendors. Replacement left and right rear fenders included. I have yard driven it some over the years, but not recently. Great to do a restoration on a noteworthy original piece of history. Some price negotiation after seeing it in person. Email to set up a time to see it. Currently garaged, but will be in the yard soon. Has good tread on tires.”

“1957 Willys Jeep Station Wagon, original 6 cylinder Continental 6-226 engine, rebuilt by Bill Fisk Machine Shop, original three speed manual transmission, rebuilt by Pat’s Transmissions, original part time 4WD system. Two door, rusted tail gate hinge, some patched holes in floor, has all glass. Currently tagged and insured. Good SC title. Drove to work in West Ashley for several years. Is original, some rust, not running. Engine turns over easily. Good tread on tires. Great to patch up and drive now, then do more work on it later, or customize it. With engine rebuild and transmission rebuild, will cruise at 60 on HWY 17 no problems. No interest in your stories or lookie loos, just want to hear from interested buyers. Some negotiation possible after seeing in person. Hate to let it go, but now retired and not in a position to put a lot into it.”

Israel-Kaiser Compact Tender Literature

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features, Willys Trucks, Willys Wagons • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: I found what I believe is another Israel Kaiser brochure which highlights the Compact Tender design. This truck looks more like a modified wagon than a truck. The bed does not appear independent of the cab.

1950s-israel-brochure-compact-pickup1 1950s-israel-brochure-compact-pickup2 1950s-israel-brochure-compact-pickup3

=================

Original Published Dec 05, 2010: Congrats to Or who spotted some information from a “Kaizer-Ilin Industrys Ltd” marketing document at the Israel Cars forum.   He and I have both searched for any official piece of evidence that the vehicles we were seeing were really produced and this represents the first step in that process.  We still don’t know how many were produced, nor how many years they were produced, nor in how many countries they were produced (though they have appeared in both Israel and the US).

The document below is from 1963.  Or translates it the following way:

1. Tender Willys
2. “Station Car”
3. Compact Tender
4. c’hamp 1963

Moreover, Or spoke with some of the folks at the Israel Cars forum and discovered that the Compact Tender is built on the Panel/Wagon frame (104.5″ wheelbase) rather than the long pickup frame (118″ wheelbase).

Thanks to the guys at the Israel Cars forum for posting this Ad:

New in Box Painless Wiring Kit (No. 60526) to run engine and transmission. Drive by wire pedal included. Hydroboost brake module (needs brake lines and hoses).

Frame is beautiful and of the finest quality set up for Fox coilovers (I have the fronts new in box). Custom brake pedal installed. Ididit steering column (shift on column) 90 % installed. Rebuilt Saginaw steering gear. JK seats. New body wiring harness.

“”REDUCED” Titled as 1947, probably a late 50’s, Willys Panel Wagon with 4-cylinder Hurricane motor, 2wd, 3-speed on the column with a B-W overdrive. I got it on a trade, looks like they did a good job with the restoration. It’s solid, runs and drives great, everything works. A real head turner. I installed front disc brakes for safety, new rear drum brake shoes, new glass in doors, new carburetor and a backup camera. Decals can easily be removed. Interested in TRADING for a mild v-8 vehicle that is HWY drivable long distance. Will consider 50s – early 90s chevy trucks, prefer auto trans with a/c. Must have a clear title, not just a bill of sale. Located in Bismarck, AR. Three three seven 2630696″

1962 Wagon Middletown, CT **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Willys Wagons This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed on an auction site.

Bill shared this wagon for sale that’s listed for auction on a site that’s new to me: Fourbiexchange.com. The passenger side floor has a patch, but may be solid.

1962-wagon-middletown-ct6 1962-wagon-middletown-ct7 1962-wagon-middletown-ct8 1962-wagon-middletown-ct9

“The Willys Jeep Utility Wagon was first introduced in 1946 as a civilian vehicle, following the end of WWII. It was a departure from the military-focused Jeeps and aimed at providing a practical and versatile vehicle for civilian use. The design featured a boxy and utilitarian body style, and was one of the first mass-produced all-steel station wagons.

This Utility Wagon is powered by the original Hurricane Flathead Straight 6 that is paired with a 3-speed manual transmission and two speed transfer case with low and high ranges and manual locking hubs. The vehicle runs and shifts well, and the 4×4 system works as it should.

A recent refurbishment has been completed that included a thorough rust removal, body work, and repaint in period correct two-tone green and white. The refurbishment was fairly comprehensive (some photos included), but is not concourse quality. The windshield is new and additionally, several bits of weatherstripping have also been replaced to ensure the Utility Wagon stays leak free.

In addition to the body work and paint, fuel tank and all lines were replaced along with new filters and a complete carb rebuild on the old 2bbl Carter. New front and rear springs and shocks were fitted, new brake lines (hard and soft) installed, new brakes (shoes, rotors, wheel cylinders, etc) installed, and new wheel bearings fitted. Most of the exhaust has been replaced as well.

On the interior, the seat was pulled out and the frame cleaned up and repainted and some durable black denim was wrapped around it. The heat works and so do the lights and blinkers. The windows roll up and down the wing windows open as they should, providing a nice breeze as you drive.

Service recently performed includes a re-grease and oil change in both the rear Dana 44 and front Dana 25 axles.

This Utility Wagon comes with 1 set of keys, a CT Registration, CT Q1 form (official transfer of ownership form), CT Bill of Sale and a letter of title exemption from the state of CT.”
