CJ7...right?

Not quite. The "CJ-7" was first produced by AMC in 1987.

The War time General Purpose, (G-P) or jeeps were either "MB" built by
Willys-Overland, or "GPW" built by Ford.

The "GPW" was a Ford code; "G"= Government vehicle, "P"= 80" wheel
base, and "W"= Willys. Ford also produced the "GPA" or amphbious
"G-P". The first "CJ" or "Civilian Jeep was produced for civilian use
in late 1945.




those photos were taken in Toledo OH at the Willys plant in 1942

Willys plant, as show by the stamp on the rear of the jeep, once you
revert it correctly.

It is surprising that such a supposedly professional news outfit as
Life would not even bother enough to notice such obvious..



Found many photos in the LIFE archives that are that way, reversed or even
some cases inverted. mislabeled or even placed in the wrong set of images.
