1949 Abandoned Willys Jeep Station Wagon Papercraft Model 1/35 Scale

If there is a debate about the world's first SUV, the Willys Jeep Station Wagon will be placed as the main nominee, competing with the Chevrolet Suburban.

The Willys station wagon was introduced in 1946, while the Chevy Suburban was in 1939. However, it should be emphasized, when talking about the world's first mass-produced luxury 4x4 vehicle, the Willys Station Wagon is the answer.

The Willys Jeep Station Wagon was born by designer Brooks Stevens and was first introduced in 1946.

This Jeep had a long career span and was completed in 1965 for production in America.

The Willys Station Wagon became one of the most successful and influential Jeep products after World War II.

Its success cannot be separated from the post-war need for a vehicle that can explore even remote areas.

Based on historical records, the Jeep Willys Station Wagon not only emerged as a pioneer of 4x4 luxury passenger vehicles.

However, it is present as the first commercial vehicle whose entire body is made of iron plates.

The use of an iron body was considered a brilliant breakthrough at that time when almost all passenger vehicles still relied on wood as a body material.
