I like the black fuel cap for the reasons you mentioned. That body is enjoying the attention best to not detract from it even in the slightest. Thanks for the video.
I can't even express how much I love this rig! I think the only thing I don't like about Icon is the fact that I don't own one. As always, awesome work by you and your crew! You said that you scanned the shifter knob, what do you guys run? I work for an industrial engineering firm, and we run a Leica P20... Just wondering what you guys use. (not a sales question)
No translucent sunglasses this time; Mr. Ward your company is the best, if my ship ever comes in expect a call from me. Your creations are works of art!
My "Aunt Rosemary's car" ...favorite Aunt ...very eccentric but never forgot me at Easter and Christmas. Had a maroon and white Willys Wagon, same vintage. Come on powerball.
I like it and the fuel cap looks fine. I hope to see a Studebaker Lark Derelict done by you and your team. The Studebaker Lark is one of my favourites.
My father had a Studebaker Lark back in the day - early 60's? It was the 2nd Studebaker he bought... the first one was probably a Champion... four doors because he had 7 kids. Dim memories by now sad to say.
I've been waiting for this one, great job, love it. As far as the gas cap I would love to see a cap that mimics the hub caps. Thanks for sharing the Willys Overland!.
All of your builds are among the best I've ever seen. I love your attention to detail and design, they're perfect. Someday, if I win the lottery, I'll roll up to your shop in a clapped-out Fury and see what you can do.

Wow, just wow! So much re-use of original (headliner, hubcaps, shift indicator, guage artwork) with all the patina of use wrapped-up in a tight (no doubt, rattle-free) package! Love your work, thanks for sharing! Since you asked about the fuel filler cap, the plastic feels slightly out-of-place IMHO. Like something that got added at-need in the 80's. Maybe a cap modelled after the hubcaps (metal, worn chrome) would feel more at home here? Regardless, what an amazing build!
Being a retired Ford Engineer with 49 years experience I have to say yous build these cars to perfection. Keep it up! I would love to worl for a company like your company.
I'm building a 53 Willys Panel. I'm using a 2-door Ford Explorer chassis, others have used chevy S10 chassis, body fits on them perfectly, no reason to build a custom chassis, a four link? An LS v8? booooring. Plenty of others options for what is honestly a vehicle that isn't going to go fast, sits too high stock, and has horrible aerodynamics.
awesome truck!!!!!!!!..,, i got one in my back yard slowly working on it,..yours is beautiful, unfortunaley broke my hearth when mentioned all the foreign undercarriage and combustion machine, not within willys family....too bad only the body remains of a precious willys.
Awesome WIllys wagon Derelict. Reminds me of that sweet Jeepster you guys did a few years back. Nice work. That version of the Willys wagon (the 2wd Maverick with the chrome side rockets, column shift, and mesh speedo surround) is quite rare. Glad to see so much of it was kept. Amazing work. Look forward to your next projects, hopefully some more of the 1946-1965 Willys wagons and trucks.
My dad purchased a used Willys Overland about 1958 I think it was a 1952, it was a 6 volt battery and he never changed it out it always smelled little of gasoline and horse hair with 3 speed on the column and mom and dad repainted it in a white and light green with brushes. It ran and rattled like a can of spray paint for a number of years until he sold it maybe 1963. I wish I had it, you would have another project. I drove may dads last truck from 1972 until 1976 an old forest service 1958 step side F100, it got me there! Now I have a F150 Lariat stealth 4X4 crew keeping it stock for now but LED Lights are in it future. Thank you for the mammies, I mean memories, That's my story
Intelligent class act. Perfect power and sound. There is nothing I would change. I'd love to drive it cross country with a good tent and bag stashed in back. I'd put it too work yet in a pleasurable way. Perfect!
Great story! Makes the process as interesting as the result. I have a dream of finding my Grandpa's 72 International Travelall, and make that a fun towing 4X4 vehicle.
Another beautiful originally nal has been basturdized. So few originals left. There is something special about to whole original experience including the bad stuff of design. I have a 52 wagon. love it...I have had 8 jeepster 48-52 and many cj,s and such. this is my only wagon...lov it!
Although I would have preferred stock, you didn't build it for me. Otherwise, nice build. Most of these I've seen had a chrome "Station Wagon" emblem on the glove box door. Or it's missing when you find a Willys Wagon in a wrecking yard. I want to find an original one of those for my Cherokee.
I have been eagerly waiting for this one! The fuel cap looks plastic. Looks good, but I think the feel might be nicer if it was machined aluminum then powder coated black. Very nice wagon overall, it's nice to see some more relaxed derelict builds after being blown away by the new crazy cool ICON FJ builds you are doing.
I've got a 1947 dodge 1 1/2 ton dump truck. I think if you took the gas cap off a truck like that, maybe painted it black, it would look perfect! Just a thought!
Willys-Overland Motor Co. was defunct in early 1953 when it was acquired by Kaiser Motors and rebranded as Willys Motors, Inc. until 1962 when the name changed to Kaiser Jeep Corporation. In 1970 it was sold to AMC, and then to Chrysler in the '90s. So this wagon is a Willys, not a Willys-Overland. Big distinction if you're into Jeep history!
I would love to have another of those (4x4) I'm 66, my dad had worked for a surveying business in the '50s and '60s, he had access to '46, '48, '51,'52, 56, '58, and '60 or '61. Could I tell you stories of the desert in Southern California from the '50s... love your build except I would want 4X4!
Downgraded to 2WD? Pfft.. Next. You can buff your knob all your want over the speedometer, upholstery and fridge blah blah blah who cares.. It's nothing but a blingy station wagon w/o 4WD and a Transfer case w/low range.
Show me just one of these 'Derelicts' that isn't 'Spot-On'. (betcha can't.) That Sparton stalk is great, especially with the trombone. If you made any extras they need to be put on the Site's Shop page. Along with the well thought out Speedo. This vehicle, like it's Derelict brethren, are so well thought out. This type of mod would be rather cool on an FC170/M677 crew cab.
It was also good for storing the families cars. My aunts 68 E-type, 71 Travellall, 71 Mach I, 54 Continental, 77 Lincoln Towncar....and a bunch of other cools cars and trucks.
Great job as always, I don't care for the fix a flat. Things that bother me about some new cars are 1, No full size spare. 2. No spare at all, just fix a flat. 3, Rubber band engines. 4. Technology that makes a car less reliable than the old stuff. (Went to leave on vacation and transponder ring for chip key failed.) While I love the way you tastefully integrate modern technology with the old, it sometimes scares me. I can rig the old stuff and make it home, or change a mechanical fuel pump in a parking lot. Now, when an in tank fuel pump takes a dump, better have a tow truck if no access panel. My dad has 350,000 miles on his '67 Wagoneer he bought new. Never been towed, unlike his newer cars. It did refuse to start recently, he pulled out the failed electronic ignition conversion and threw the points back in that he had in the glove box, not sayin' points are better, just sayin'. I'm planning to upgrade a 1970 Wagoneer to a driveline with fuel injection and overdrive, but going with a 90's setup. No fuel temp sensors, leak detection pumps, transponder rings, plastic intake manifolds....your builds inspire me. I tend to be a purist with my better classics (though I do make minor improvements unless a pristine original), but I love what you do. Thanks for keeping the gauges looking original. I hate seeing hot rods at car shows with modern gauges and ugly tilt steering. I love how you make modern columns and dash accessories look original, even if modified.
BTW, Brooks Stevens was the Willys designer. He penned the wagon, truck, Wagoneer and several other Willys/Jeeps. He also designed the cowlings on my other favorite mid fifties collectibles, Johnson and Evinrude outboards.
Just as I started this video, a dually with gooseneck trailer pulled in beside me. On his trailer was a Willys Panel Wagon! He was really tight-lipped with info, and wouldn't allow any photo. I could tell,, however,, there were di$erent axles, it was lifted, tires looked to be about 35's, and dual exhaust. Flying J, Smithton, PA
First off it is a WILLYS, not a Willis. Secondly, it is the Maverick model. The only model to have that style side trim and would typically come with a 230 cu in overhead cam 6. Otherwise I love the work your shop puts out
I grew up in this vintage Jeep....I had the jump seat in the back....I can only recall gun metal gray finish ....would have cost my father too much to pay for a two tone like this. This was the business car and the family car. At the time I was mortified. Check out the nice cars for '60 by Chevrolet and Buick.
08:20 GM 5.3L V8 engine super efficient. Very sorry for the sarcasm, but it's the kind of comment you only expect from a rich American. I doubt even an atmospheric diesel can't be efficient in moving that iron.
I think the gas cap is fine but everything can be upgraded. If you change it id make it look a lot like the shifter knob I really like that. By the way you should get some sponsors together & do a giveaway. I know theirs a lot of people that'd love to have an ICON & can't afford one. Great job as always. Love your attention to detail.
I don't suppose since you do some other upgrades that you could put some high back bucket seats in the thing with a little more head and neck support? Even in the older 50s trucks you rebuild the seats are all low back. I personally like a little more head and neck support with bumpy ride trucks and Jeeps but otherwise nice as I've seen.
Have you played with steam engines that some cars had reasonable speed and power which can be reasonably "improved" a term I apply like your lizard thing as to type of pursuits ....
aw crap. when you added all that computerized crap, you ruined it. The only thing derelict about is is the crap you added. You should have just cleaned it up and kept it original.
l had one of these 40 years ago. l purchased the car for $300. l sold the 6 cylinder engine for $300. l then sold the car for $1000 before l did anything to it.
Half of me says why not restore such a well maintained original Willys than my hotrod side says what a subtle streetrod but to look at it you would never no whats under that hood ....I guess thats the point !
I've always heard them pronounced "Will-ees", guess it just depends on what part of the country your from. Fix-a-Flat, really client?? Surly there was a way to mount an external spare. It almost seems pointless to make it 2WD as well.
right, but it is far from factory now and seems this guy gets out and about seeing he has a fridge. If I was spending all that money I would go ahead and make it 4x4 ;) Nothing like getting stuck in your 100k grand truck out in middle of no where.
My first driver was a 1960 Willys 2WD “Station Sedan”. Had the 4 cyl. F-head engine, “3 on the tree” with electric overdrive. Very simple to work on, economical to drive, and very reliable. I surely miss it.
I like the black fuel cap for the reasons you mentioned. That body is enjoying the attention best to not detract from it even in the slightest. Thanks for the video.
I am surprised they did not recess it and make a proper body-colored door. It looks like a big black zit the way they left it.
i love everything ICON does but i think the derelicts are my favorite. so slick...!
Very nice... Rocking the Portuguese Suit! Ballsy fashion move :)
Thumbs up for the car fridge! Applause.
Beautiful Car!
Love it! Keep up the good work
I can't even express how much I love this rig! I think the only thing I don't like about Icon is the fact that I don't own one. As always, awesome work by you and your crew!

as always another excellent build. but what is that annoying rattle we hear every so often? I would think your builds would be rattle proof.
I thought Brooks Stevens was involved in the design of the Willys wagons.
No translucent sunglasses this time; Mr. Ward your company is the best, if my ship ever comes in expect a call from me. Your creations are works of art!
Terry Thomas drove one of these in the screen classic "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World".
One of the funniest movies ever...

JUST AWESOME SPEACHLESS WITH EVERY ICON PRODUCT
I have to disagree on the gas cap. I would have gone with a simple chrome cap or maybe something custom that matches the hubcaps and shifter.
I agree, I would have gone with an original looking cap. The original cap was chrome and rounded on top.
I've been waiting for this one, great job, love it. As far as the gas cap I would love to see a cap that mimics the hub caps. Thanks for sharing the Willys Overland!.
I'm pretty sure that's the best build you've ever done, just the right amount of everything in it but oh so subtle.
All of your builds are among the best I've ever seen. I love your attention to detail and design, they're perfect. Someday, if I win the lottery, I'll roll up to your shop in a clapped-out Fury and see what you can do.

Awsome! I would like to see you do a Willys truck of the same body style

Every new derelict becomes my favorite derelict. The wheels/tire combo really changes the look of it to me in a good way.
In response to your query regarding the gas cap, I'm Ok with it. That stated, I'm surprised that you and your client found it acceptable.
As usual, I’m envious. True quality.

I think I saw this vehicle in old Hindi film Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon which was newly released on Friday 1st November 1963.
Have you played with steam engines that some cars had reasonable speed and power which can be reasonably "improved" a term I apply like your lizard thing as to type of pursuits ....
Very Very Nice, not too over the top improvements SUBTLE improvements I like!!
As for the file cap, how about a period correct simple no nonsense chromed cap ?
aw crap. when you added all that computerized crap, you ruined it. The only thing derelict about is is the crap you added. You should have just cleaned it up and kept it original.
How Much? I have ICON Toyota FJ Cruisers well over 75000. Carbon Fiber was used a lot on the Toyotas.
Do you think the FJ40 looks a tad bit like the Willis wagon. I once owned a panel Willis, and also an FJ40 later, really similar.
love it,why the rattling,just curious,i wish some body will manufacture this vehicles again,thanks for sharing .
The hood spears almost look like 51-52 F1. In my opinion the gas cap should be flat capped like the old days.
It's too citified, I wouldn't want toi take it off road. I've lots of old Willys trucks and wagons. all were 4-wheel drive.
l had one of these 40 years ago. l purchased the car for $300. l sold the 6 cylinder engine for $300. l then sold the car for $1000 before l did anything to it.

Williy W I L LY 's WILLEES. Very well done. If this was in the N.E. the floors would have been gone
4wd with an AMC straight six would have been better. V-8 and 300+ HP not my thing.
Gas cap would look nice if it resembled the hub caps. Chrome with small "W" in center like hub caps.
as always another excellent build, but what is that annoying rattle we here every so often. I would think these builds would be rattle proof.
I've always heard them pronounced "Will-ees", guess it just depends on what part of the country your from. Fix-a-Flat, really client?? Surly there was a way to mount an external spare. It almost seems pointless to make it 2WD as well.
it was 2wd from the factory, and much more rare than the usual 4x4

I phone in a two wheel drive with fridge. There is a sucker born every day. Oh ya don't forget the dnyomat
am I the only one bothered by him saying it like "willis" versus the correct "willy'S"?
You forgot about the flip out rear license plate for when the tailgate is lowered or how it makes a great drink holder when standing around out back..
SUPERB work as always. Looking forward to the next project
I was completely distracted by the rattling in the vehicle. Very surprised you did not address this.
I think that shift knob would be uncomfortably cold in the winter. Looks great in any event.
Good video. Only comment is that it's pronounced "Willie's," not "Willis."
Can any one here write the phone number? I can only get the 280-3333, many thanks.
I'll bet ICON could do a fantastic job on a Jeep FC-150 or 170 . . .
Your team and yourself, as usual, perfection. Well done guy's, pure ICON.
something is still rattling a lot, maybe the seats but its an awesome looking ride for sure
What is doing all the rattling? You usually spend a lot of time tracking down rattles.
I absolutely love this build .the way you did the derelict Style.,if you can really call it a , derelict, really is awesome . FINS UP AGAIN :) 👍 👍
I love the engine, engine bay on this one. Great build as always.
The original owners looked after this one too well, it doesn't look derelict enough. :)
How much did it cost to make what's the vehicle work now $500,000
Beautiful job....But it's pronounced 'Willies' Not 'Willis'
My one complaint is he says Willis not willys damn I really sound like a snob don’t I
I want to be like Jonathan Ward when I grow up.
my favorite part was that the client wanted a trombone on the horn stalk
Thank you Mr. Ward for helping to keep the old iron on the road. Don"t worry about the gas cap, it works. Lol.
Very Nice! We had a very nice '62 2 Door Wagon bought used from a Uncle back in 1969. Hurricane straight six. Loved that Willy's.
