Morris 1000
This little wagon was built in England, but it was spotted on Nantucket Island, off the coast of Massechusetts. It's a Morris 1000. Yes, real wood.
The Jeep is really a Jeepster, a sporty car based on a Jeep. They made these for a while in the early 50's and then reinvented it for another generation. You may remember the commercial that started out with "Holy Toledo! What a car!"
That yellow and black roadster is a replica. Those Volkswagen parking lights on the front fenders are a clue. I wouldn't be surprised if it had a Volkswagen engine in the back. But what is under that long, long hood?
