Willys provided the first Jeeps to the US Army during World War II. This brand, created in 1908 and which had bought Overland in 1912, went on producing this model after the war, both for the civilian market and the army. This M38 (a version produced from 1950) appears in the TV Series MASH produced from 1972 to 1983.

Willys is known to have provided the first Jeeps to the US Army during World War II, as evidenced by this Norev model car whose windshield can fold.

At the end of WWII, the military Jeep manufactured by Willys began its civilian career. Its name became CJ, for "Civilian Jeep", then CJ-3B in 1953, when it received a taller grille to accommodate a new engine. The company, sold to Kaiser, was renamed Willys Motors. The CJ-3B will be produced in the United States until 1968 and in India by Mahindra until 2010!

Manufactured in the United States from 1946, the Willys Station Wagon, based on the Jeep, was also assembled in Brazil from 1958. This Brazilian version, called Rural, is reproduced here. Its production lasted until 1972, including the last 4 years when Ford became the owner of the brand. Either a rear-wheel drive or a 4x4, the Rural received a gasoline 2.6-litre or 3-litre 6-cylinder.
