Who said barn finds are a thing from the past?!
We got in touch with a really nice person from France, and he told us he had a really good looking Willys , but she was not able to drive , start or brake, and she did not drive for the last 10 years, so she needs alot of TLC! (tender loving care)
This Willys is made in 1943 as a original radio Willys, and should have had a BC1306 or a BC-620 radio!
