The New Dodge Power Wagon You Really Want

The Dodge Power Wagon holds a unique place in 4x4 lore. Other than the various iterations of Jeeps used quite successfully around the world during World War II

I want the new one, when it comes with a Cummins, and an old one, from the 40s-60’s.

You could very well be right, 60’s was just a guess. My dad worked for a mason who had one back in the 50’s and he would tell me stories about how tough they were.
The hood, grille, fenders and headlight buckets are a work of art, in my opinion.

The Vice Principle of my high school had a nicely restored PW a bit older than the one in your picture. He lived about a mile down the road from us and I would often see it sitting in his driveway.

I DO have the garage space!
Will "store" it for you for free!

Maybe - but only in your Florida location. No road salt allowed!

I don't have the garage space in FL.
But how about just for Summer use, along the NE coast?

• The New Dodge Power Wagon You Really Want

Yes!

Mid 70's, I found a 'short bus' 1940's Power Wagon with minimal owner-built conversion for camping. The price was reasonable, just an old guy who wanted to pass it along to someone who would enjoy it. I was VERY tempted.

After agonizing over it for days, I passed. We lived within two hours of the high Serras with endless back country primitive camping opportunities. But driving the Power Wagon up there would have added too many hours on the road, to the weekend adventures we started nearly every Friday evening. I eventually sold my Ford pickup and got a Wagoneer instead. That was a more realistic match to what we actually needed, highway competence in addition to offroad.

Couple of pictures: Power Wagon Short Bus, found online. And our typical use. I wish I still had the 4-speed Wagoneer. It got severely T-boned by a drunk while parked. I was heartbroken.

The old Wagoneer! My neighbors had one just yours, except it was yellow with white roof. I think he had a Quadratrac model with a 360/auto.

This is the car I’d want if money was no object and I had a garage bay to accommodate.
