Of 135 companies approached, two responded. Willys-Overland delivered the MB. By the end of the war, more than 647,000 had rolled off the line. Generals rode in them. Medics loaded stretchers across them. Signal corps ran wire from them. Ernie Pyle wrote from North Africa: \"I don't think we could continue the war without the jeep. It does everything. It goes everywhere. It's as faithful as a dog, as strong as a mule, and as agile as a goat.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEisenhower listed it among the handful of pieces of equipment senior officers regarded as most vital to victory in Africa and Europe. He noted the irony: none of them were designed for combat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis faceplate recreates a section of a Willys MB attached to the 101st Airborne Division, Normandy, June 1944. The broken-circle invasion star marks an Allied vehicle in the D-Day theater. The hand-chalked \"NORMANDY\" and \"6 JUNE 44\" are the kind of markings soldiers scrawled on their vehicles every day. The Screaming Eagle insignia of the 101st and the division motto, \"Rendezvous with Destiny,\" mark the unit. The small wire-cutter bar silhouette references the vertical bars welded to jeep bumpers to cut piano wire the Germans strung across roads at neck height. The mud is from the Norman bocage. The paint is worn to bare metal at every stress point. This vehicle has been working since Utah Beach and hasn't stopped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo single jeep is famous. That's the point. The most important vehicle of the century was the one nobody noticed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the Military Skins series. Each faceplate simulates the exterior surface of an iconic military vehicle, reduced to fit your Keyport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Willys MB Jeep\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Willys MB was the original Jeep. Designed in 1940 to meet U.S. Army specifications that 133 of 135 manufacturers refused even to bid on, the MB was a 60-horsepower, four-wheel-drive, 2,300-pound vehicle that could go almost anywhere and carry almost anything. American Bantam designed the first prototype. Ford had the production capacity. But Willys-Overland's \"Go Devil\" engine was decisive, and the Army standardized on the Willys design, licensing Ford to build a nearly identical version as the GPW. Parts were fully interchangeable between Willys and Ford jeeps. Between 1941 and 1945, Willys produced 362,841 MBs and Ford produced 280,448 GPWs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe MB served in every theater of the war. It hauled wounded under fire, carried command staff across continents, towed antitank guns, and ran wire for the Signal Corps. It fit inside a C-47 and could be loaded into a glider for airborne assault. It carried twice what it was designed for and kept going. A Marine MB on Guadalcanal was struck by Japanese shrapnel and awarded the Purple Heart. General George Marshall called the jeep \"America's greatest contribution to modern warfare.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the war, soldiers came home wanting one. Willys-Overland began selling the CJ — Civilian Jeep — in 1945. Every Wrangler, Cherokee, and Gladiator on the road today traces directly to the 60-horsepower box on wheels that Willys built in 49 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is a Faceplate Scale?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKeyport \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mykeyport.com\/collections\/faceplates\" title=\"Customize your Keyport key organizer or keychain multi-tool with a wide range of modular Faceplate Scales\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFaceplate Scales\u003c\/a\u003e are removable side plates that allow you to customize your \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mykeyport.com\/pages\/pivot-key-organizer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKeyport Pivot\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mykeyport.com\/pages\/slide-key-holder\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKeyport Slide\u003c\/a\u003e, or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mykeyport.com\/collections\/bundles\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAnywhere Tools Bundles\u003c\/a\u003e by Keyport.
