chopdtop Member from PWELO aka Pueblo Very interesting Craigslist find tonight(not mine, but I wish that I had the money for it!) Extremely rare, original condition, 1942 Willys Americar / Gasser-style Panel Delivery. From the research performed, this vehicle was the very last of the line of non-military commercial vehicles made and delivered by Willys, prior to the USA entering WWII. This vehicle is quite unusual with lots of original wood framing (mostly in excellent condition) throughout the interior of the body. Through national and international research, no others have been located and therefore is believed to be the only remaining vehicle of its kind. It was exported from the USA to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1942, right when all available resources were diverted into the war effort. As was described by an Argentinian contact, the vehicle had been used for making deliveries as part of a family business in and around the city of Buenos Aires. Various Argintinian receipts and registration documents that date back to the 1970's will be included with the vehicle. Further vehicle-use history research should be possible for the new owner of the vehicle. The vehicle was brought back into the USA in the mid 2000's. The vehicle hasn't been started or driven for approximately two years, however it ran, drove and stopped amazingly well for an original vehicle of this vintage. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...ys-picture-thread.550556/page-65#post-7179607
