Jeep® Heritage | 1946 Jeep Willys Station Wagon & Delivery Wagon
The 1946 Jeep Willys Station Wagon holds a revered place in Jeep®
brand and automotive history. It was the first all-metal station wagon
and represented a further expansion of the company’s vehicles into
non-military territory. This Station Wagon was built for two groups:
families and businesses.
For the first three years of its production, the vehicle was
two-wheel drive, powered by the Willys L134 straight-four engine, also
known as the Go Devil, which was the engine found in Jeep Willys MB
vehicles produced during World War II. Aesthetically, the family
oriented Station Wagon featured a three-tone paint scheme, intended to
mimic the look of wood-paneled vehicles of the era. The "Delivery Wagon”
version featured a solid panel on the side where the middle and back
row windows would have been. 
In post–World War II America, the possibilities, both culturally and
economically, were boundless. Nowhere is that more evident than in the
Jeep Willys vehicles of the era. Whether transporting commercial cargo
or the most precious cargo of all – family – these do-anything vehicles
helped mold the new American way of life with limitless possibilities.
