RUBBER TIRES - COLOR INSTRUCTION SHEET
In 1940, after World War II had broken out, the US general
staff ordered various factories to design a light multi-purpose vehicle with
all-wheel drive. The American Bantam Company, Willys Overland, and Ford Motor
Co. competed. Willys prototype was chosen, which, after an initial run of 1500
vehicles, went into mass production at the beginning of 1941 and reached a
total output of 640.000 units out of which 277.000 pieces were produced by Ford
under a licensing agreement. This shows that the Jeep was the most widely
produced light vehicle of the war industry during World War II.
