Was out in Northern California this week! Old jeeps everywhere in great shape. But this one was in immaculate shape. Drove by it 2 or 3 times before grabbing a quick pic!
Old willies

Just FYI ... Its pronounced Will-Us - "Willies" would be bad grammer...
Pretty jeep though.

Just for my own education, can a vehicle be both a Willys and a Jeep? I wouldn't think so. This vehicle seems to have the word JEEP in front of the door. Just wondering.

Yes they were Willys up until 1953 (?) when Kaiser bought them. The CJ3B was the only model that had Willys stamped into the grille. All had it on the tailgait.

Im pretty sure thats an early Cj5 (or maybe an M38?) which would technically make it a Willys-Overland.
In 1964 Kaiser bought out WO and switched the nameplate to Kaiser-Jeep. -
When I saw 'old willies' I was afraid it was the new senior member designation and vowed to never miss another meeting.
