Description

Just prior to WWII, the U.S. Army offered automobile manufacturers the contract for producing light motor vehicles, which was awarded to Willys. By Oct 1941, it became apparent Willys could not keep up with the production demand and Ford was contracted. The Ford car was then designated GPW, with the “W” referring to the “Willys” licensed design. During WWII, Willys produced 363,000 Jeeps and Ford some 280,000. Both the Willys MB and Ford GPW models were very effective on the ground, with 60hp at 4000rpm, a gasoline can bracket on the left rear, provision for trailer lights, a blackout light system, twin top bows and sealed spring shackles.
