Despite being painted like the Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine, this Willys Utility Wagon is actually really cool and special.
This machine, of course, was a Willys and not a Jeep by name. But in spirit, it shows what Jeep could be as a commercial and civilian machine in a post-war world.
In terms of charm, the wood paneling outside is real, and also lines the roof of the cargo bay. Very cool.
