DIEHARD ◊ 2006-03-18 12:08	Willy's Overland Jeep for sure... see http://www.aikensairplanes.com/forces%20of%20valor/fv82003.htm -- Last edit: 2006-03-18 12:13:20

DIEHARD ◊ 2006-03-18 12:54	antp wrote M38 then? Why a Willys-Overland (i.e. from Brazil) rather than a normal Willys ? It is no M38, it is probally one produced during WWII. SO a Willy's Overland MB Jeep. I think Willy's Overland is the official name, while Willy's is the name people use while it is easier (shorter) Usefull link (in Dutch): Link to "users.pandora.be" -- Last edit: 2006-03-18 13:32:55
antp ◊ 2006-03-18 14:40	I thought it was another company, from Brazil, making Willys vehicles under licences... But according to Wikipedia, "Willys (pronounced "WILL-iss") was the brand name used by the United States automobile company Willys-Overland Motors". So we would have to list the vehicles as Willys, not Willys-Overland... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willys -- Last edit: 2006-03-18 14:40:32
