One of the first military vehicles mass-produced in the United States, the Willys MB (and Ford GPW) US Army jeep is the culmination of war-time
ingenuity, standardization and strategic personalization for transport of personnel and cargo.
Soon to become the ubiquitous, "world-famous" jeep, the Willys MB and Ford GPW models were very effective on the ground, with many
standardized features such as 6.00x16 tires, 60 honest horsepower at 4,000 rpm, a gasoline can bracket on the left rear,
provisions for trailer lights, spark interference suppression, a blackout light system, twin top bows and sealed spring shackles.
