Yeah, that’s a good looking color especially with the contrasting top and fenders. The snow falling in the pic is perfect as it is a Jeep. Good looking tires and rims too,

Has been pronounced both willis and willys, one article I saw said "John Conde, an auto historian in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. (and former Jeep public relation executive), said Mr. Willys “was probably the type who would say, `I don't care how you pronounce it as long as you buy my cars.'”

John North Willys bought the Overland car company because he liked the brand and knew he could expand it and increase sales. For several years Overland was number two in sales after the Ford Model T. Then he got over expanded and in big debt. Walter Chrysler was called to get things in order and he was paid big $$ to do it. He even bought Willy's California estate and cut the man's salary in half. Within a year Chrysler had the debt greatly reduced and was asked to do the same for Maxwell. Out of the Maxwell save came the Chrysler Corp.But that is another story.
