The hero of World War II. Willys produced 335,531 units, and they served in
every theater of war, in every conceivable role, and with every Allied army.
They were also given modifications including longer wheelbases, 6x6 drivetrains,
skis, armor plating, railway wheels, and weapons mounts of various types. This
vehicle changed the way Americans looked at the automobile and added a new word
to our vocabulary: Jeep. Early versions had "Willys" embossed on the
back panel, but the military frowned on the free advertising and ordered the
practice stopped. MB's are plentiful, easily restored and a heck of a lot of
fun. This superbly restored 1944 MB belongs to Tony Standefer of Bothell,
Washington. (Tony Standefer)
