2012 North East Ohio Flat Fender Gathering Photos

On September 23, a group of like minded individuals gathered in what was called the North East Ohio Flat Fender Gathering. They brought a variety of Willys vehicles with them, including some unique and rare Willys Jeeps. There is more photos posted on bb_christy’s Flickr page, the Flat Fender Club of Butler website, and on the CJ2A page. Thanks to David from EWillys.com for the heads up!

Swamp Buggy “Gator Country” Willys Jeep Model

Have you ever seen the Swamp Buggy “Gator Country” Willys Jeep model by Craft Master? According to Old Plastic Models, the model came as both a stock and the modified “Gator Country” version. Stock engine, body, interior panels and tires were supplied as were the custom “aftermarket” parts. I tried googling Craft Master and Gator Country Willys Jeep with no luck.

Interesting military Willys Jeep on display. I assume it is a medical ambulance and that the covered area on the roof is for storage. Does anyone have more information? Vintage Military Trucks .
