The American legend we all know and love,
a beginning of the toughness of the jeep that we know today, wow epic music from the beginning of the video to the end, cool sir ........
There was a guy from Lake Sawyer near Black Diamond, Wa. that had a Jeep in a box. It had never been opened. He and his buddies bought two box cars full of boxed Jeeps in 1946 from Government Surplus and sold all but what they kept. I think his name was Beckler. I saw the box but he would pull any boards from it.
The slat grill jeep is my favorite
I enjoyed your program!
It's awesome.Great car
fascinating to the extreme
Had a mate Ken Lewis.... had a collection of jeeps ... one being the slatted grill👍🏼....had been used as a garage tow truck painted yellow..... early lend lease I reckon in England. 😎💪🏼
Beautiful! I'm thinking about building one myself one day!
Eddie Flores Jau go to the philippines. we have a lot of ww2 jees still runnig. most outside of meyro manila
Learned a lot from this video!
Funny..., Ford also came with a slat grille on their own competitor-'jeep' and when they were building their version of the Willys MB Jeep, they designed the pressed sheet metal grille that became the halmark of THE JEEP !!!
Thank you
Grande Jeep !Foi a maior criação da 2° Guerra Mundial e esse do vídeo está Fantástico ! - Marcelo / Rio de Janeiro / Brazil
Nice video
That light is early 50's the early m series vehicles had a plug for them
I wish I had one but this is a dream
nicely narrated....
I'm a collector and would love to have an MB! Do you have any of the shock bushing tools for sale?
thanks for the info, just figure out that one of my radiator cores is a slat grill one.
+shurlin79 Great! Glad we could help! Thanks for watching!
Wondering where this jeep went after manufacturing... sounds like it had light duty. Great video..
In 2019 I was out to DDay Conneaut Ohio, and saw an usual WWII Jeep on display. It must have been a real early prototype because of some very usual features. The intake/exhaust manifold was on the opposite side of the engine. It had an automotive instrument cluster on the dash, the door contour was different. It was a slat grill. Anyone every seen this one?
That was a Ford.
Love slat grills
Please do a detailed video on a original 6x6 willys mb

Шикарная машина у нас в России тоже есть такой джип 1941год с такой решёткай как у вас!!!
it's a very nice jeep
keep them rolling
=)
God, I would have loved to buy one of these and just ride around in it. I'm only 16 though, hahaha
Theeflea03 -Get one! My high school car was a '47 Willys CJ-2A that I bought in 1999. I'm keeping it forever!
I just bought one im 12
Check your local Facebook marketplace, craigslist, any of those sales apps
I just bought a 1949 Cj
You'll pay through the teeth for a wartime jeep, but the early CJs are fun as hell
That was my dream at 16 and now I own a 45 Willys MB.
is the music in the beginning from "Band of Brothers?"
Henry Ford didn't design the pressed grille. One of his engineers, Clarence Kramer did.
yeah
It was cheaper to stamp out the grill that to weld each individual piece!
That's odd, even my GPW has the same radiator 'indents' as in your video - are you sure about that detail ?
good hello, although there are many groups on the emblematic military car Willys, since by varying times showed our willys it was the army but in 1960 was offered to the volunteer firefighters of Figueira da Foz and which continues to roll but with many difficulties helps in getting parts for it, until now still not managed to get someone offers to help by our Willes look better and oust some pieces that begin to show much wear and damage, unfortunately. As I mentioned already have 3 cars of old fire and American manufacturing: 1º Ford AA 1930, 2º Willys 1945, 3º Studebaker de1953, as the photos will show, so precisamois of all the aid that can be given because we are one body volunteer firefighters and to keep these relics running are accurate financiaL or material helps to restore and maintain rolling, I hope you like the pictures !!!!.........
I would like to know about the music used at the beginning of this video.
My Grandfather gave me a screwdriver just like the one in that kit,I all ways wondered where it came from,now i know lol. Isn't the engine the same as the model 9N Ford tractor?
Llama mucho mi atención dos cosas: No tiene Jerrycan y tampoco tiene la luz blackuot sobre el guardabarros delantero. Por favor si puedes aclarar esas dudas . Muchas gracias.
สวย เท่ รถยนต์ Jeeps
JEEP 1941 REMOTE CONTROL MINIATURE QRC JJ65 PERFECT ORIGINAL, AMAZON and BANG GOOD.
I could have bought and made a big mistake by not buying an original 41 Willys Overland. It had a wire grill and lots of different things the war Jeeps didn't have. The price was $800.00 and it was located in Black Diamond, Wash.
If I want to purchase this model how I can contact with you?? I am from West Bengal India.
The non photo blue was not visible to the very common ortho chromatic film of the day. Pano chromatic film became in heavier use soon after and photo blue became visible.
It's funny how Jeep has last from ww2 to now. If you look at the jeep from 1941 it looks like the jeep wrangler
Was this for sale
1942 jeep in all time in tho veryvery beautiful all tome paulr hai i like to 1942 jeep v ile ko i like kar tho u ji me favrt jeep ji
Great job jeeps are made to be driven not to be sitting
I do believe you are WRONG on one point;---it was EDSEL, Henry's son (he was BOTH PRESIDENT & CHIEF OF PRODUCTION of FORD)--who INSISTED on (& i believe partly designed it)!
Just watched a video advertisement of Willys Jeeps and accessories from the 50's, and they pronounced it "willis" rather than "willeez".
Huh... what is a PVC valve?
Jeepin Smurf positive ventilation crankcase
Jeepin Smurf it's PCV not PVC. pressure control valve
Jeepin Smurf it is a fancyvibratir!
i caught that too
Actually, it's PCV- "Positive Crankcase Ventilation "valve.
That should start with 201 not 203 for a early production also it should be white on a 41
For sale 42 slat grill
Ralph, if you have a Jeep for sale visit: WarJeeps.com to post a free classified ad. Thanks!
That blue drab isn't correct for a 41
Actually that is not true. All factory model jeeps and military equipment thru WWII were stencil with the olive blue drab. I was not until the Korean era that equipment was marked in white from the factory. Once in combat most vehicles where restenciled in white markings. The documentation on this point is undisputed & original archive photos prove it out too.
Original ?????????? garanti ???
On day seven, God created JEEPS.
mark jesic and the Lord look at his work and said it was good
It is pronounce "Willis"!!!
Um. No.
+Jake Tow Um, yeah.
no
+dillon magers YES. Check any of the historical documentary films on the subject made in the WW2 era. It's CLEARLY pronounced "Willis". I am sure Willys Overland knew how to pronounce their own name well before you and I were born. Have a nice day.
+GLOCKCOPG23 no
Then they copied ford and changed grill to 7 slots to avoid copyright and now they boast about the significance of their 7 slots which never existed. 😂😂
