| 1956 - 1964 DJ-3A |
| Production of the 2 wheel drive Willys DJ3A model began in 1956 and continued until 1964. The DJ3A utilized the 4 cylinder "Go Devil" engine, T90 transmission, and a Dana 23 rear end. The Jeep Dispatcher is best known in it's pink, blue, or green striped incarnation - the Gala Surrey. The DJ3A surrey was marketed to resorts and as a fun beach buggy. The famous Tonka "Barbie" Jeep was modeled after the Willys Surrey. |
| The outward appearance of the Willys DJ3A is virtually identical to the CJ3A. Underneath, however, there were many differences, most notably the lack of a transfer case. |
