Willys Jeep 1946

General description : Zeer gave en goed bewaard gebleven Willys Jeep CJ2-A van 1946. Dit exemplaar kwamen wij tegen in de Amerikaanse staat Californië waar deze dankzij het ultieme droge en warme klimaat na 70 jaar nog immer zeer degelijk is gebleven. Zowel chassis als carrosserie zeer gaaf en on-gerestaureerd. Uiteraard konden wij deze Jeep niet laten staan en we besloten direct dat deze over zee naar Nederland moest komen. Inmiddels is de auto bij de RDW geweest voor een Nederlandse registratie en direct onderworpen aan een technische keuring aldaar ofwel deze Willys is voorzien van prachtige blauwe Nederlandse kentekenplaten. De motor loopt en de Jeep is rijdend. Er is een volledige softtop aanwezig evenals zijdeuren en daardoor praktischer in gebruik. Bedrijfsinformatie: Prijswijzigingen, druk- en zetfouten voorbehouden.

About Willys
The Willys-Overland Company, later known simply as Willys, was an American automobile manufacturer that played a significant role in automotive history. Here's an overview of the story of Willys:

Early Years:
Founding: The company was founded by John North Willys in 1908 in Toledo, Ohio, initially as the Willys-Overland Motor Company. John Willys acquired the Overland Automotive Division of Standard Wheel Company, which produced the Overland automobile.
Early Success: Willys-Overland experienced success in the early 1910s, producing vehicles like the Overland Model 79, which was a popular car due to its affordability and reliability.
World War I:
Military Contracts: During World War I, Willys-Overland secured significant contracts to supply vehicles for the war effort. The company's production capabilities were crucial for the military, producing trucks and automobiles for various purposes.
Introduction of the Jeep:
WWII Contribution: In the build-up to World War II, Willys-Overland, along with other automakers, responded to the U.S. Army's request for a lightweight, all-terrain reconnaissance vehicle. The company developed the Willys MB, which became the iconic Jeep.
Jeep Legacy: The Jeep, with its ruggedness, versatility, and reliability, played a crucial role in World War II. Its success led to the establishment of the Jeep brand, known for producing off-road vehicles that gained popularity in both military and civilian applications.
Post-War Period:
Civilian Jeep Models: After the war, Willys introduced civilian versions of the Jeep, like the CJ (Civilian Jeep) series, which were adapted from the wartime Willys MB. These vehicles became popular for off-road and recreational use.
Willys' Evolution and Later Years:
Ownership Changes: Willys-Overland faced financial difficulties and changed ownership several times in the post-war years, eventually becoming the Kaiser-Jeep Corporation after being acquired by Kaiser Motors in the 1950s.
End of Willys: In 1970, the American Motors Corporation (AMC) acquired Kaiser-Jeep. The Willys nameplate gradually faded away as AMC focused on the Jeep brand. Later, Chrysler acquired AMC in the 1980s and continued the production and development of Jeep vehicles.
Legacy:
Willys' legacy is primarily associated with its contribution to the automotive industry through the creation of the Jeep, a vehicle that transformed mobility during World War II and became an iconic brand in its own right. The Jeep's reputation for durability, versatility, and off-road capability originated from the innovations and success of Willys-Overland during wartime.
