ITALERI 326 WILLYS OVERLAND 1/4 TON AMBULANCE JEEP ( WWII US ARMY ) 1/35 SCALE
DESCRIPTION:
In 1940, after World War II had broken out, the US general staff ordered various factories to design a light multi-purpose vehicle with all-wheel drive. The American Bantam Company, Willys Overland, and Ford Motor Co. competed with each other. Willys prototype was chosen, which, after an initial run of 1500 vehicles, went into mass production at the beginning of 1941 and reached a total output of 640.000 units out of which 277.000 pieces were produced by Ford under a licensing agreement. This shows that the Jeep was the most widely produced light vehicle of the war industry during World War II.
The ubiquitous Jeep is perhaps the most all-round vehicle ever constructed. Because it was ruggedly built and thus able to traverse most types of terrain without suffering structural damage, one of the task assigned to the jeep was that of ambulance service.
