A great majority of them were manufactured by Ford Motor Co, under Willy's liscense. Just like Ford manufactured the vast majority of the most used bomber of WWII-the B-24.

Pretty good Shawna. I downloaded the highest res version. Love the shot of Laurel and Hardy. I wonder how many of those crash test Dummies had to go to the infirmary. Man, one guy bouncin' around almost smashed his face on the tailgate. I don't care who you are that woulda hurt!!!

RPJS - If you look at the history of the Land Rover, the guys who started it were brothers... They had a WILLYS on their farm that they used as a "workhorse." They developed the Land Rover in the image of the Willys... <br /><br />But I still do hold a good view of the Land Rover. <br /><br />I'd rank the off-road capability of them as follows:<br /><br />1. Jeep<br />2. Land Rover<br />3. Hummer<br /><br />Sean

Don't forget the Unimog, Sean. It is pretty big, but it will go places the others wont.
