Willys Jeep 80th Anniversary 1941-2021
In 1940, amidst the outbreak of World War II, the US general staff issued orders to several factories, tasking them with designing a light, versatile vehicle with all-wheel drive capabilities. Competing against each other were the American Bantam Company, Willys Overland, and Ford Motor Co.
Ultimately, the Willys prototype emerged as the chosen design. Following an initial production run of 1500 vehicles, mass production commenced in early 1941, resulting in an impressive total output of 640,000 units. Of this remarkable figure, 277,000 were produced by Ford under a licensing agreement. This remarkable production scale illustrates the Jeep's status as the most extensively manufactured light vehicle in the war industry throughout World War II.
