Also more whistling-past-the-graveyard "we're totally not going to have to stop production of the new '42", and ad association with the burgeoning war effort. More justified than the Mercury one yesterday, obviously, because Willys.

I like how they're evading mention of American Bantam and Ford in the same competition, and they have a picture of the Willys MA even though the MB had already (if only just) gone into production.

I do like how the MA looks kind of like an angry Verne Troyer version of the Deuce-and-a-half. Still too heavy for the official spec at that point, the MB is lighter.

It's all about the Willys Jeepster. Their last "regular car", 1948-1950.

October 1941, which would also be around the last time anyone has seen a '42 Americar in unmodified condition.

Very true.
