    I was picking up cans & bottles along the road with my scout troop in the early 60s and got separated and lot from them. Ron pulled up in his jeep with a big smile. The jeep was green then and he picked me up, shook hands and took me into town. I didn't know who Ronald Reagan was the time. I thought he was Peter Burtness because Peter had the only green jeep in town then. Ron told me that he grew up in Illinois near military bases and that if you ever saw a man (I was just a boy) in a uniform walking along the road, you stopped & gave him a ride.
    Thanks for the ride Ron!

    I was happy to hear the man at the beginning correctly pronounce the name Willys (will-is). So many people get it wrong, even people who are "car people."

      So I've come to notice. "Will-eez over-land" rather than "Willis overlind".

    I absolutely love the guy. I don't care about his politics. I'm a middle age gay man. Grew up with him as president and I really wish he was still here. The man had heart. He had the spirit of, " what I do in private is mine." Damn I wish he were here too vote for.

      He was a leader. In other words, to me, he concentrated on the big picture and did what was right for the national as a whole. He wasn't perfect, but a great leader.

    What a great story. I was a young Security Police NCO in the USAF when he was president. We all loved him. Years after my retirement, on my birthday, my wife and I rode my Harley down to his Presidential Library. I loved it.

    Reagan was an honest hard working man, and was one of our greatest presidents

      I think the most greatest of presidents had the most humblest of beginnings...
      ....that's what we need today.

    Reagan is one of the greatest presidents and men of our time. Seeing this makes me so happy to be an American 🇺🇸 Reagan embodies what makes a real good man and what it means to be a patriot. And I love that Jeep. My father had an ‘89. Takes me back.

    What a man, what a vehicle.
    America has produced some great presidents. Washington, Lincoln, Teddy and FDR, Truman and Kennedy. Few have done more for both peace and economics than Reagan.
    We always joked that Nancy was the real president because Reagan would listen to those he trusted, including Nancy. Was he the last president who listened to others before he made any important decision. He also considered the impact of his decisions.

    My father had one Willys Jeep in the 60s he used for working and would take us to school with it when the weather was very rough.

    I'm not a jeep lover, in fact I am very much a Toyota fanboy, but i will agree that that particular jeep is a national treasure, as well as being built in a time where jeeps could actually go offroad and do truck stuff without breaking. I'd say that this jeep definitely matters, as well as the person who drove it. President Reagen was a godsend. For one, he immediately saved a bunch of lives by lifting the national speed limit from 55 to 65. Rest in peace, Mr. President. You will be missed.

    Well what can I say! I was born 1962. and that Jeep was made in 1962. so the Holy Spirit was High!!! Grretings from Guatemala City. I am a citizen of this World!!

      George Albergo I lived through Reagan’s governorship in California and his presidency. Loved it and him. Trump is not for such simple surroundings but he’s every bit as much for regular Americans as Reagan was.

    • @Turbojeep23
      @Turbojeep23 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      nope. 62 Jeep was still under Willys, Hence the data plate on both our 62s saying Willys, and the 65 says Kaiser Corp on the plate.
