Willard & National were the OEM brands. The current NAPA battery looks pretty correct and if desired, you can peel off or paint over their labels. At one time you could get Willard pressure-sensitive labels from Antique Auto Battery and then apply them - don't know if you still can. My own experience with NAPA Group 2E batteries is that you can usually get 6-8 years of service from them; the best I ever got from the "boutique" battery makers was 24-30 months so I no longer use them. Hope this is helpful.

EDIT: Oops - my mistake, sorry. It was Willard and AutoLite, not National. Thanks HH for correcting my error.
