Jeep Willys (other names: Willys MB, Jeep) is an American all-terrain vehicle from World War II and the post-war period. The first prototypes of the car were built in 1940 and series production took place in 1940-1945. Nearly 650,000 copies were made over time! The weight of the cart was approximately 1.1 tons, with a length of 3.36 meters and a width of 1.57 meters. The drive was provided by a single engine with a power of 60 hp. The maximum speed was 105 km/h.

The Jeep Willys was developed to order and requested by the American army, which in 1940, faced with the war, asked for a completely new 4x4 passenger car with a payload of up to 250 kilograms, which could be mass produced. It is worth mentioning that initially the American Bantam Car with the Bantam BRC was the clear favorite in the tender. However, the US Department of Defense, striving for the best possible car design and trying to ensure trouble-free series production, transferred the plans for the Bantam BRC to the Willys and Ford factories. Based on these plans, Willys developed a Jeep that had a much better power source than the original Bantam BRC, but was also mechanically more perfect. Ultimately it was this car, the Willys Jeep, that won the tender for the US army. The presented car was actually mass-produced and went to almost all the Anglo-Saxon armies fighting in World War II, and thanks to the Lend-and-Lease program, also to the Soviet Union. He took part in hostilities in North Africa, Italy, Northwestern Europe and the Pacific. The Jeep Willys is often believed to be one of the symbols of the American triumph in World War II.
