Willys MA at factory

Post by Roberto Flores » Wed Apr 07, 2021 12:21 pm

Hi fellows,

I´m currently looking for any pic of the first series of Willys MA jeeps, preferiblely taken at the assembly plant. Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

A few pictures taken in the production facility.
I don't remember where I have found these pictures. Perhaps here on G503?

Many thanks Ladislav and Yves for your answers! Curiously I have just found that website with the MA period photos a few hours ago.

Fantastic and useful info!

Hi Roberto,
You will find also fantastic photos in high resolution on that Ohio website :
https://www.ohiomemory.org
Type "jeep assembly line" or something like that in the top search box.
Then you may refine you results by selecting the 1940 period.
There are nice Bantam, MA and MB photos taken during demos.
The low resolution photos shown here above in my previous post were coming from that Ohio memory website.
Enjoy.
