Just guessing.
Seems like it would be called something like that.
The Orange Tornado?
It's actually called a Superbird.

This beauty was at a car show I went to last weekend:

It was being offered for sale, too! Just a cool $249,000 and it could be yours!
It's actually a Road Runner.
If you look on the back wing, you can make out the cartoon "Road Runner" on it...
Those like it and others were called cop killers back in the 1970s because they could out runa police car and leave it in the dust.
Blah, they have not made a real Jeep since the last CJ rolled off the line.
I am not sure but it did get a persons attention to see it on the road.Trivia: Why was the wing on the Road Runner and the Daytona so high?

To put it into clean air.
Conventional thinking, but no...
Funny. That's what the designer said when asked...
Here's the article I read in 2016:
The Real Reason the Dodge Charger Daytona's Wing Was So Huge
Even the wing's designer says it had nothing to do with the trunk being able to open. Myth busted.www.roadandtrack.com
Well, shit, there ya' go.
Honest to God, I'd always heard it was because, since the designers mounted the supports to the fenders, it was to allow the trunk to open. In my defense, I was told that by both Wayne Carini and John Kraman.
I learned something here today...
Getting the trunk into clean air makes more sense than the trunk opening. Because, if you think about it (and watch wind tunnel testing), the air behind the rear window would be turbulent (i.e. "dirty" air), meaning that the spoiler wouldn't work as well, and might even cause additional drag.
Actually, I don't think the trunk's goin' anywhere!
I think you meant to say "spoiler" or "wing"...

Of course. The current Wrangler even has a Willys trim package. But they are completely different vehicles. Willys Jeeps are super utilitarian and not all that fun to drive on road.There certainly are a number of old brands like that, that still exist in some form, very disconnected from their original history. Vivitar comes to mind, and Curtis Mathes.
The vehicles now bearing the Willys name, are, in fact, legitimate descendants of the original Willys Jeep,.
