The Willys MB (Model B) Jeep, although only produced between 1941 and 1945, nearly 370,000 rolled of the Willys production line. The 1/4 ton, 4x 4 army truck was the result of the US Army need for a light, cross-country reconnaissance vehicle with a specification to include capacity for a crew of three, a fold-down windshield, a weight of no more than 590 kg and a track of no more than 47 inches. It was used extensively by the US and Allied Forces and after the end of World War II, many were sold on into private use.
The Oxford Willys MB makes its third 1:76 scale appearance and is decorated in a dark military green with white military lettering including the US Army white star and is registered EF-HC 31185.15.
Designed to meet a US Department of War requirement for a light, cross-country reconnaissance vehicle, the Willys MB Army Jeep was manufactured between 1941 and 1945. The Willys Jeep was the original version of what would later become one of the most iconic vehicles in American history, evolving into a popular civilian vehicle that is still being produced today. The Willys Jeep was a compact, four-wheel drive vehicle that rapidly became one of the most prolific vehicles of WWII. More than 640,000 standardized versions were produced, with 8,690 other versions built over a period of four years. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
