Hi, I am new here. I have had a lovely old wagon in my possession for a good many years. Recently I sold that wagon and the new buyer asked me so many questions about this wagon. So, we are wanting to know about the company that built Coaster Craft wagons. I have found out that it was owned and operated by the Willis family in Port Austin Mi. and they also made scooters and trikes. This wagon was the best constructed wagon I have ever seen. The decal on it is still shiny and bright but the wagon it self, the inside of the bed has faded somewhat. If you know anything about this company or have any information about the beautiful wagon, please respond to this. Thanks. ro_sie

MikeBear, thank you for the photo of the Coaster Craft building. I have been trying to find out as much as I can about that company. They made some beautiful childs wagons back in the day. Just trying to find out what day. It would appear that the car in the picture is a late 40's model General motors car. And I have been guessing that they were alive in the 30's and 40's. Perhaps ww 2 did them in. Anyway, I thank you so much for your help.

Hey OP! I know your post is a few years old now, but hopefully I can help. I'm actually a member of the crew working to renovate this old building, and (true to history) helped open up a bike shop there this past summer - which I currently manage. Figure I could be of assistance Our local paper did a story on the history and current endeavors of the building, and might answer a lot of the questions you and the buyer have. I'll share links to a few resources on the topic here. Let me know if you have any other inquiries!
