Lateef ◊ 2016-01-25 22:04	This is not entirely correct. The design that the Willys MB was based on was the more cost-effective Ford GP which then replaced the original Willys MA design - which itself was a development of the Bantam "Blitz Buggy". The hood was taken from the GP and given a pressed grille (also designed by Ford) - while retaining the more efficient Willys engine, and the MB was basically born. The later identical GPW did indeed have a W for Willys in the name, but Willys shouldn't take credit for the whole design. -- Last edit: 2016-01-25 22:34:24
