Willy’s Jeep
R800,00
Description
The 1⁄4-ton jeep became the primary light, wheeled, multi-role vehicle of the United States military and its allies, with President Eisenhower once calling it “one of three decisive weapons the U.S. had during WWII. With some 640,000 units built, the 1⁄4‑ton jeeps constituted a quarter of the total military support motor vehicles that the U.S. produced during the war, and almost two-thirds of the 988,000 light 4WD vehicles produced, when counted together with the Dodge WC series. Large numbers of jeeps were provided to U.S. allies, including the Soviet Union at the time. 1⁄4‑ton jeeps were shipped to help Russia during WWII, against Nazi Germany’s total production of just over 50,000 Kübelwagens, the jeep’s primary counterpart.
