Talk about a rare jeep. Anyone ever seen one of these (if there are any left). It’s a specially outfitted jeep for the State Department for carrying the story of America to the world. The first pics below were from a September 1949 issue of Popular Science, while the newspaper article was carried in the Sunday Star on Sunday, April 17, 1949.

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

• 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.”
