Alexander ◊ 2006-02-20 14:50	It is a Willys MB 'Jeep' (1941) with a CJ-3A windscreen and extra indicators. The Willys MB could always be a Ford GPW. They are almost indistingishable. As Willys is the constructor and Ford only built it in licence (GPW = General Purpose, Willys), I will name it Willys MB. At that time 'Jeep' was only a nickname, therefore in inverted kommas. The Mitsubishi Jeeps were based on the CJ-3B with a higher hood and therefore shorter windscreen.
