Are you a warbird owner AND a parent?

Got a little money kicking around? Why not get Susie and Billy their own Willy's!

I wish these were around when I was a kid!

Spend 5$ on plans from a 1948 magazine to build a scale willy's jeep. Still have to build it and buy the wood for it, but I guess it will be much cheaper then 9000$.
