Scott Willys
557 North State Road (Previously known as Route 100)
Briarcliff Manor, New York
Another tip of the hat to Jon from New York. He tracked down the old Scott Willys dealership based on information seen in the K-F Dealer List. The building has been known locally as Wallace J. Scott Motors for some time. Jon stopped in and talked to a semi-retired mechanic named Walter, owner of a beautifully restored FC-170, who has been there since 1948. He confirmed the building is the location of the original Scott Willys dealership, although the street name has changed. The mechanic also stated the dealership carried the Willys line starting in 1947 or 1948 and that they remained a Jeep dealership until 1971.
During the subsequent years, the dealership sold Saabs and Volvos. They are still going strong today as a Saab-only dealership, now known as Saab of Westchester. The photo below was taken in June 2003.
