Willys Back End Liquor & Wine Bar

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

Here’s a heart warming story of a boy, a girl, a jeep and a Merry Christmas!

Mike writes, I wanted to take the time to share with you my Christmas present from my girlfriend. She arranged to have a local artist put together a liquor/wine bar made from the back end of a 49′ Willys. Don’t worry, the jeep was beyond repair. This bar is catered towards my specific hobbies such as my 46′ Willys, my love for Scotch, plus a few other things. I think she’s a keeper!!! Both my girlfriend and the bar!

Santa got a little help from an M-151 this year. Joe tells me it was a cold drive, but taking Santa for a ride and being last in the parade was fun!
