Some interesting info here, Click on the various dates and there are some videos, gallery's to go thru.. 1919 he was making one million dollars a year as President of the Willys Corporation.. "Three Musketeers" video a good one, Chrysler, i always have said even at a time i drove a Chevy they were ahead of there time with things they come up with, and i still believe it, The Chrysler 6 was quite a car for that time period. Enjoy! i felt it worth a look.

Here's more about his early years in Oelwein, IA. There is a tribute to WPC in the town park.

Thanks! I think thats some better then the link.. In this article it states he said in describing his story and a 1/2 house "It WAS" so i imagine its long gone, but that would be something to see the barn out back that as they put it could be a fore runner of the assembly plant at the time.. Cool stuff, I haven't finished all that link yet but i liked this article! Would have been better by Wednesday though... New glasses will be here lol..
 
That is a cool tribute...
