The Jeep Wagon was designed in the mid-1940s by industrial designer Brooks Stevens. Willys did not make their own bodies, car bodies were in high demand, and Willys was known to have limited finances. Brooks therefore designed bodies that could be built by sheet metal fabricators who normally made parts for household appliances and could draw sheet metal no more than 6 inches (152 mm). The steel body was efficient to mass-produce, easier to maintain and safer than the real wood-bodied station wagon versions at the time. Within the first two years of the Jeep Wagon's production, the only manufacturer in the United States with a station wagon that was comparable in price was Crosley, which introduced an all-steel wagon in 1947. The Jeep Wagon was the first Willys product with independent front suspension. Barney Roos, Willys' chief engineer, developed a system based on a transverse seven-leaf spring. The system, called "Planadyne" by Willys, was similar in concept to the "planar" suspension Roos had developed for Studebaker in the mid-1930s. 1946: introduced as the 463 with 10 slot flat grille in July 1946, powered by the L-134 Go-Devil flathead inline-four engine. According to Hagerty, the current valuation of a 1946 Willys Jeep Station Wagon ranges from $7,900 up to $32,900, depending on the condition of the vehicle. Although it may be hard to locate one from the debut year, as there are none available for purchase online as of the time of publication, if you do locate one it is highly unlikely that it will fall into the best possible condition category due to age. Overall, the history contained in any year of this particular model would be worth seeking out to a collector. Marking a huge milestone in Jeep’s archives, the 1946 Willys Jeep Station Wagon is not only considered by many to be the innovator responsible for modern SUVs, but also modern station wagons. If you’re looking to own an appealing piece of history, this Jeep would fit the bill!
