Description[]
3D Universe[]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
Willard first appeared in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas with a billboard in Rodeo, Los Santos, advertising the Elegant with the tagline "The New '92 Elegance".
HD Universe[]
Willard returns in the HD Universe with a new shield-like logo, distinguished by a squiggly line in the middle, and a range of luxury vehicles, most of which date back to the mid- to late-20th century.
The Faction has a rear plate holder that reads "Liberty City Willard", suggesting that a Willard dealership either exists or once existed in Liberty City, although it cannot be seen in any game.
Grand Theft Auto VI[]
In the September 2022 GTA VI leaks, a station wagon seemingly inspired by a 1971-1976 Buick Estate appears multiple times. In one clip, Lucia is seen walking around and shooting at the vehicle with an M16 in a test bed environment. The leaked test bed footage clearly shows a Willard badge on the station wagon's grille, rims, and rear trunk door, indicating the vehicle's manufacturer.[1]
Influence[]
Willard is primarily based on the Buick division of General Motors. The Willard logo in the HD Universe is vaguely similar in shape to the Hudson Motors logo, but upside down, with the squiggle inside resembling elements seen in Chrysler's golden seal logo.
