Wherever Allied Forces are pushing ahead today, this amazing Jeep, the fighting Hell Cat on Wheels, is doing its versatile job for our forces on every front. Procured and maintained for American fighting forces everywhere by the U. S. Ordnance Department, Willysbuilt Jeeps are widely used by British forces and are an important factor in Russian operations from Leningrad to the Sea of Azov. Built around the famous “Go-Devil” engine, an exclusive Willys development, the Jeep designed by WillysOverland Engineers, in close collaboration with U. S. Army Service Forces was, after competitive tests with models of the V 4 ton 4x4 reconnaissance truck produced by two other motor car companies, officially selected as a vehicle for the U. S. Armed Forces. When it became apparent that the % ton 4x4 reconnaissance truck was to play an important role in United Nations strategy, the U. S. Army decided to establish a second source of supply in case bombs or saboteurs should interfere with production. Without compensation we willingly turned over our plans and specifications to another large motor company, that it might make these vehicles. Willys-Overland had long experience in the production of rugged, light-weight, economical transportation before the war. It is our firm belief that these qualities now so splendidly exemplified and so widely experienced in its Jeep will be demanded by millions of thrift-minded motorists in their post-war car.
