#1 I had a 51 Willy's wagon. Always wanted a four door four wheel drive. Oil bath air cleaner. 5th gear overdrive and I traveled all over with it. 14th street bridge in DC even. Gave it to my brother and well it sat. Sold it for parts later. Lady said it sounded like a hay thrashing machine. My uncle had one like your video and he used it to hunt on property that was to have Dulles built on it. They had African boars to hunt and I saw enough of that animal to stay away. It still runs to this day.
