That “very pretty, pearlescent-gray color” reminds me of Jeep’s “Sting-Gray” color to which I unaffectionately refer as “snot gray.”

Rotopax has been on my shopping list for years. I’ll grab one eventually. 

Indiana government in action.

I found a 50s commercial from Willys on YT once and they pronounced it wrong, so I assume at some point after the war they gave up the fight.

Brooks Stevens wrote about this while the war was still underway. Quite a few of his predictions, maybe most of them, were pretty far off, but his interest particularly in what the wartime Jeep could evolve into led Barney Roos to invite him to collaborate with Willys, which led to some of the most iconic Jeeps ever,…
