Bantam Car Company won the initial contract to provide a light motor vehicle. In 1941 the
Military wanted to standardize so one manufacturer was selected, Willys-Overland mostly
because of its Go Devil engine the troops raved about. The Willys Jeep had a
designation of MB, M (Military) B (second vehicle design). Eventually Willys couldnt keep
up so Ford was contracted to produce an almost identical vehicle, the GPW. During
World War II there was a total of 647,870 Jeeps produced by three manufacturers; Willys-
Overland produced 362,841 of them. Approximately 51,000 were exported to the USSR.



In 1944 and 1945 the 82nd Airborne developed its own standardized armor kit for its
recon jeeps. They steel plates on the sides to protect the driver and the front passenger
as well as a steel windshield with a slot cut in it so the driver could peek out to see where
he was driving if he had to duck below the plates. They also added a sloping plate in front
of the grill to protect the radiator and engine. There were many official attempts to add
armor to the Jeep but the extra weight overloaded the vehicle.
