History buff and car enthusiast, Timothy Silkowski, shows off his ‘40s era Ford Jeep and the 1950 Willys Station Wagon that he has restored over the course of his Marine Corps career. Both vehicles have identical, 134 cubic inch, 60 horsepower, 105 foot pounds of torque, 4 cylinder engines. The Willys-Overland Motor Company and Ford both produced Jeeps for World War II use with the station wagon rising out of a need to use up thousands of surplus engines once the war ended.
