1949 Truck St. Charles, MO **Status Unknown**

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

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $6000

This 2WD truck looks like it could make a good restoration project, though it’s not priced at a restoration truck price.

“1949 Willy’s Overland truck. It is a factory built two wheel drive with a 134cc flathead four cylinder engine named the “Go Devil”. This truck is 90% all original and has been in a barn for the last 30 years. This truck does run and has a new battery, master cylinder, and fuel pump. This model is VERY rare, and an awesome barn find. Would be great for any project direction you would want to go. Whether you are wanting to restore or turn into a hotrod. This is also a three speed on the floor, not the three on the colum that was more common for the era. Serious inquires only.”

Ann and I at the Alamo

We left Austin today bound for San Antonio. We tried detouring into the historic old town of Gruene, but found it more tourist trap than historic site, so we continued on to San Antonio.

2015-05-05-austin-sanantonio-map

We arrived in San Antonio so early that we had plenty of time to head down to the Alamo and play tourist. The last time Ann was in town was during her basic training. She didn’t remember the Alamo grounds as being so lush nor could she remember seeing so much tourist -based entertainment (wax museums, Ripleys, etc). I was expecting the Alamo to have a much more sacred feel, but it’s set up to run LOTS of people through it.

As you can see there were no lines while we were there, but it is clear they are ready to handle large crowds.

The back side of the Alamo.

The surprisingly lush gardens within walls. I was expecting a more desert-like area.

Seth Found this Interesting Wagon

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

Seth spotted this interesting wagon. If anyone can provide any insights into it, we’d find it helpful.

He writes, I found this very rough abandoned Wagon. What made it stand out was the independent front suspension and the barn doors. It looks stock but I have always been under the impression that the Wagoneer Panel Delivery was the first Jeep with IFS. It is obviously a basket case project but if it’s a prototype or something like that it may be worth the effort to restore.

Dan has posted the photos at the Old Willys Forum as well. He suggested it might be a factory special. He noted, Based on the gauges and rear rear wheels, it looks like a 1946-early 1950 Delivery that someone installed an aftermarket IFS (similar to the Mustang II) and cut out the back rear side windows. That said, it could be a factory special.

Cite de l’Automobile Celebrates Vehicles in Uniform

• CATEGORIES: Features, Museums This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Hugo forwarded a link announcing Cite de l’Automobile’s July 25 & 26 Vehicles in Uniform event. The museum is in Paris, France. Even if you decide that’s a little far to travel for the weekend, poking around their website is pretty interesting. It looks like they have an amazing collection.
