Probably Willys
The Willys body was made by Clayton Custom Cars in North Caroline. They were a long standing reputable company specializing in Willys. This original concept roadster body was made by Dennis Taylor who was also recognized as top in Willys. Unfortunately both businesses are out of business as the economy turned on them. Guys willing to spend $150,000 and up just weren't building these cars.
Yes, the original body is fiberglass. I am not a cookie cutter guy so we spent 18 months on the body alone. As I like european styling my first order of business was to make sure the body was smooth and clean. We widened the rear fenders 3 inches on each side, porsche cayenne tailpipes through the rear body, porsche headlights, front chin spoiler, waterfall console inside that runs from the dash up through to the rear deck area. We spent 4 months building the removable hardtop. 540 cu in BB with Kinsler fuel injection, 4l80 transmission with paddle shift, digital dash, a killer sound system with 15 inch subs behind seats, 32 inch flatscreen in the trunk, with an apple tv providing the sound. The aluminum dash and side hood vents were designed by me. The original prototype was made of wood. I then sat down with a guy at a machine shop and he sketched it out on his computer and then they machined them for me......it was a little more difficult than this but its the short version of the story.
I do tour with this car and have had an interest in some Kentucky shows but have not made it. I have been doing some in door shows the past few years.

I have a few toys that would mix well with yours. Love the suburban and C10, too.
