Jeep became the primary light 4- wheel-drive car and Willy’s produced over 300,000 jeep MB vehicles and the majority of them were used by the US Army military during the world war II. During that time around 30% of the jeep produced was shipped to the Allied Forces of Britain and Russia. After world war II, 1945-1949 Willy’s converted military jeep know as Willy’s MB jeep to CJ-2A where he improvised new features like large headlights, side-mounted spare tire, tailgate, and higher windshield. During that period other vehicle like the first station Wagon known as Willy’s Station wagon was innovated in 1946 and first jeep pickup was also introduced in 1947.
