It’s been a crazy couple months. Somewhere along the line I obtained copies of the March 1946 Semi-Annual Willys-Overland Report. I think this came from Barry’s Farmjeep site, but I couldn’t find it yesterday.
This report demonstrates that Willys-Overland was trying to lay the groundwork for two basic product lines: A Utility Line of vehicles and a Passenger Line of vehicles. The company also claimed that the passenger line vehicles would be introduced in 1947.
It is hidden in this post – https://www.farmjeep.com/2015/07/26/historic-trip-monroe-lift-museum-exhibit-and-antique-mall-willys-corporate-report/ I did find it interesting reading.
