Crossing a Stream in a Willys Military Jeep, circa 1943
01
Artifact Overview
Few things are as iconic of World War II as the jeep. American Bantam created the design in response to a call from the U.S. Army, but Bantam couldn't produce it in the quantities required. Willys-Overland and Ford built the majority of the 650,000 jeeps manufactured for the war effort. Willys built Jeeps for the civilian market after the war.
