Artifact Overview
Like other American automakers, Ford Motor Company suspended civilian production during World War II and devoted its resources to manufacturing Allied war materiel. Ford produced aircraft engines, bomber airplanes, gliders, tanks, armored cars, and -- seen here -- universal carriers. These lightly armored, tracked vehicles transported troops and towed equipment. Ford built nearly 13,900 T-16 universal carriers for British forces.
