The Ford GPW, commonly known as the Willys MB, was a World War II military vehicle manufactured by Ford as part of a collaboration with Willys-Overland. Produced between 1941 and 1945, it was an adaptation of the Willys MB, with “GPW” standing for “Government Pygmy Willys.” The GPW was essentially the same as the Willys MB, built to the same specifications and used extensively by the Allied forces during the war. It was a lightweight, highly maneuverable vehicle designed for various tasks, including transportation, reconnaissance, and support roles on the battlefield. The Ford GPW and Willys MB were both crucial in military operations and played a significant role in the outcome of World War II.
