    The blue Jeep and trailer were made by Oglesby in Peru, Indiana, based on molds from the Al-Toy Jeeps from Toledo Casting(dba Central casting and Central Brass works). It had what appeared to be an F-head engine under the hood. Hubcaps said W-I-L-L-Y-S on them.

    I was going to post that too, but Colin beat me to it! I have one of these, without the trailer, but with a bit more paint. They are quite heavy, and somewhat hard to find.

    There are other differences regarding the mold of the Oglesby vs. the Al-Toy besides the engine(the Al-Toy has no engine under the hood), but when you raise the Oglesby hood, the headlights are attached to it, and the hood has the imprint of the Star, and the word JEEP, making it appear to be a military version. The wheels and the tires are different and the Oglesby has a trailer hitch that the Al-Toy doesn’t have, nor was a trailer an accessory. Both are heavy, even for being sand cast aluminum and are nearly identical in dimensions.
