These veterans don't just look great parked in formation around rural parts of the Zona C. Willys are used to transport everything from passengers to pigs, platano, furniture and of course coffee.

To see these majestic vehicles an all their glory check out Armenia's fabulous Yipao parade. where pimped out jeeps are loaded up with agricultural products and furniture and driven around town on two wheels, or check out www.willyscolombia.com
