Everyone remembers the car they learned to drive on and some of us occasionally wish to have that car back. For most of us, that car was a mundane sedan, station wagon, truck, or SUV. However, a lucky few were fortunate enough to learn to drive on something cool like a convertible, hot hatch, or in this case, a 1950 Willys Jeep.
Usually, the hard part of tracking down your first car is locating it. In the case of this Willys, the location was the easiest part because it was sitting on a family farm in Kentucky. The hard part was reaching its hiding place. Underpowered but overbuilt, the Willys is beloved for its capabilities and rugged durability. They can handle rock crawling at Moab, or make an ideal starting point for electric vehicle conversion. But supporting the roof of a collapsed barn is not in its job description.
