WWII U.S. Army Jeep

The WWII US Army Jeep, officially designated as Truck, ¼ ton, 4 X 4, was manufactured by Willys-Overland Motors and the Ford Motor Company. From 1941 to 1945 over six hundred thousand were produced. With its Willys-Overland MB engine it had a top speed of 105 kph ( 65 mph) and a range of 483 km (300 miles). Interestingly, the final design chosen by the US Army was an amalgam of the best features of the three companies in the final bidding process.
