1954 Willys Overland Willys Description
This is a beautiful Willys Overland Jeep Pickup Truck. This truck is in very nice condition. For a year, this has been at Willys America in Cazadero, Ca, having some mechanical restoration done.

As with many of these Willys vehicles, the VIN is the engine number. The State of Oregon DMV has certified this and has placed a VIN plate on the vehicle as the official VIN. It is clean titled with that VIN number. It was also titled in Washington State with the same VIN number.
The body is in really nice shape, as you can see from the photos. This is a daily driver truck, but it is a nice show truck, too. It has been garaged by myself and the previous owner. I have owned this vehicle since 2016. I lived on an island, and this was my vehicle to get around. It won first prize for truck class in the Vashon Island Strawberry Festival, Tom Stewart Classic Car Show.
It is a wonderful vehicle, and it is fun to drive. It also is a conversation starter. It is fun to explain the history behind the vehicle, as well as Willys Overland, who built the military jeep in WWII, and took the basis of those vehicles to build vehicles like this truck.
