How do you pronounce 'Willys'?

[OSCAR II]

Can you imagine going to a service station today (they few that are left) and finding the guy wearing a bow tie, service hat and a mechanics coat?

Remember when the 4 guys in back to the future all ran out to check the tires, wash the windows and fill the tank? My dad laughed at that, said I remember those days.

Don’t forget that they used to check the oil too.

Great opportunity to make a sale. And, of course, "notice" other issues that might need attention.

Yep. A lot of people could sure benefit from that kind of service today. I can only think of 3 full service stations within 25 miles of me.

I got the Tuscadero Willys JLU, so I just call mine my "Pink Willy"

He said "I just call mine my pink willy, heh heh Beavis ".

I probably pronounce it wrong because of my venezuelan accent. But I think I say something along the lines of:

"Willis" with a hint of fez from that 70s show.

My ancestor was the Chief Engineer at Willys-Overland from 1938 to 1958 and he pronounced it Will-iss.

Just pretend Mike Tyson is saying Willie Nelson. That should get you close enough…

We know what it should be, but I've never heard anyone actually say it. It's always Will-e, like a pee-pee

Not with a bunch of EEE’s

Growing up my father and his buddies used both interchangeably, predominantly Willis at first, slowly changing to predominantly Willeze.

"Jump like a Willys if four wheel drive ..."

Jerry said "Willis" -- that is good enough for me.

I know its willis but everyone in the world says willyeez. So unless you want to look like a real life grammar nazi correcting everyone than just go with the flow. Like the guys that say, “its not a mustang its a saleen!” And then proceed to argue how you pronounce Saleen lol. Same thing there, its Suh-leen but everyone says Say-leen. Guys name is Steve Suh-leen lol.

Here in so cal its Jag. I prefer Shaguar
