There’re two kinds of companies in this world: One that makes products that are sensible and practical, and then there’s one that screams “I have the biggest dong in the world!”. Willy is one of those.
The obsess-I mean, the fascination of the 80’s automotive styling has always been a part that describes Willy the best, and when 90’s came around, he wasn’t pleased to see the boxiness of the car disappearing in favour of ugly, curvy, disgustingly putrid blobby styling. In 1992, Willy was having a dinner with his friend when they started the conversation.
Here’s the recreation of that conversation:
Willy: Boi, the 90’s sure dropped the balls for that ugly plastic bubbles.
Friend: They sure did, aye. I hate them too. What should we do about this?
Willy: What do you mean “What do we do”? We yeet that shit and bring back the 80’s!
Friend: Uh, the industry is changing, people are picking blobs over boxes. How would we sell our boxes to them?
Willy: Make it murican.
Friend: When do we start?
And so Willy as a company was established. The first car however, wouldn’t be released until 1994, where the company not only faced the tough competitions, but also internal struggles due to poor financial management. By 2003, the miserable trend reached its peak, as Willy the current CEO during that time, passed away due to unknown condition. With his friends yeeting the company, Willy was defunct and was picked up by Fanatic Automotives in 2006, reviving the aesthetic-heavy company from its grave as a more budget-oriented sports car manufacturer, while still maintaining the boxy shape it was well known for.
