The Jeep of Willys-Overland, the forefather of the off-road vehicles!
The Jeep was developed on behalf of the US Army. The order was to build a vehicle which could be cheaply and in large quantities manufactured and should be easy and terrain.
The company Willys-Overland presented a prototype in 1940, from 1941 the car was built in series.
The company Ford produced the Jeep under license. About 370,000 units were manufactured by Willys-Overland, and around 270,000 by Ford. The two versions differ only in small details.
The official designation is: 1/4 ton 4x4 Truck

Engine: 2.2 liter 4 cylinders, 60 hp performance, maximum speed on the road around 100 km / h.

The model:
Extremely detailed by the company AUTOart from the signature series. Even the smallest details are reproduced. The seats can be folded up and are padded with real fabric. The tools on the driver's side can be removed as well as the rifle behind the front disc. This can be completely folded or easily opened.
The trailer is completely cabled and can be loaded with the supplied accessories (tin can, reserve tank, wooden box and light or heavy machine with ammunition magazine).
As a special highlight, the model has a functioning 4-wheel drive. If one wheel is turned, the other 3 wheels also turn.
