Is This Chimpanzee Smarter Than The Average Jeep Owner?

I was going to make some smart ass remark about Jeep owners, but then realized I own a Jeep…Regardless, this is an incredible set of photos. The Willys toy is an interesting unit. I like the side bumpers that even go out around the tires! I assume that this was used on a TV show and “Hero” is the chimpanzee. Can any of our readers help us out with more information?

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.
