How is this “fully restored”? It has very little Willys left on it. I think a better description would be “1956 willys inspired hot rod”. ( it has a 56 grill )
I see far too many “restored” cars that are simply butchered classics. This being one.
You aren’t alone in your frustration with the misuse of the term. But then, some folks are better at working on vehicles than they are at writing. My bigger pet peeve is the use of the term “all original” when it clearly isn’t (not used above, just making a point).
