I love how it is actually the "Willy" brand tractor, as in Jeep Willy, and is the owned by Willie. I was not expecting it to be a Willy, such an iconic brand. My best friend in High School owned a Jeep Willy truck that was awesome!! I love those vehicles. Plus the Grateful Dead made it iconic in Sugar Magnolia, "Jump like a Willy's in four wheel drive".

My uncle had a 1940's Willy jeep, and I'm honestly a little embarrassed that I did not catch that! :oops:

Thanks for pointing that out...I may have to get this since I used to think that jeep was so cool, even though 50 mph was pushing it to its limits!

Yes, the old Willy's are a pretty unique and amazing vehicle. My friends was a 1953, it had a lift kit, with 38 inch tires and a motor from a Jeep Comanche in it. We could drive it on any backroad, but wasn't intended for the interstate, at all. :)
