Willys America

Driving through the tiny town of Cazadero today, a couple of hours north of San Francisco, I was surprised to see the main street lined with late-40s to early-60s jeeps. This was something I didn’t want to miss, so I made a quick u-turn. It turned out that Willys America, a Willys Jeep restorer and parts supplier specializing in frame-off restorations, was having a open house. Sweet!

This Navy-spec jeep had canvas doors and a color-matched shovel. Rock on!

 

 

Simplicity itself. Check out that steering wheel!

Here’s the fine print.

There were jeeps of all types and stripes.

A pristine fire captain’s jeep.
