More pics of the blue one in a moment. In 2022 there was a red version for sale with an asking price of $425. I don't know what became of that one. You can see pics at the bottom of this post.

    Were these publicly sold at dealerships or were they giveaways for Willys employees?

    Steve, An Ad on this page https://cj3b.info/Toys/Promos.html encouraged dealers to give them as gifts to customers (and employees?), but I remember a reader telling me that some were also available for purchase. - Dave

    I'd like to know what, if anything, was printed on the box top where the description, part #, etc. would normally be.
