In this video, we explore how Willys-Overland went from a bankrupt automaker to the creator of America's most enduring vehicle brand. How a refrigerator factory stamped the body panels for the first all-steel station wagon. Why Willys had four-wheel-drive trucks a full decade before Chevrolet or Ford. And how Barney Roos turned a tired nineteen twenties engine into the powerplant that won a world war. The part about what happened when they finally tried to build a real car? That's where it gets interesting.
