While I’ve posted pictures of my Willys wagons before, this comparison of the actual to the model shows the model’s appeal. Love those Willys wagons!
I purchased this wagon from Bob Hooper at Dominion Models a few years back. As I understand it came from a California doctor’s collection. I mounted whitewalls.

Great BRK Willys wagon, David. I just looked at mine and, sure enough, it's solid green with no wooden siding. Black tires, too. I still like it.

Yours must be like these ‘52 Hampshire Green wagons. Brooklin actually used the US Model Mint with the woody paint scheme model as a basis for the solid green one. One of my favorite Brooklins, plain, utilitarian, no frills, just like the real ones.
On the bedside table in our downstairs room serving as an infirmary during my recovery from knee surgery are these cars. This Willys wagon with black tires also came from Bob Hooper. He gave me a good price as it was missing taillights and license plate which I was able to fabricate.

My grandpa had a Willys Jeep station wagon and it was a plain grey version. I think it was a 2-wheel drive station wagon. I only have a very vague remembrance of it since I date from '53 and I believe it was traded in/sold along with his '52 Ford wagon and '49 Lincoln Cosmopolitan about the time he got his new '55 Pontiac sedan.

And here's my very stock utilitarian one by Tintin, complete with figures.
