This photo shows an array of Willys MA jeeps in San Francisco during World War II, with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. There were 1,553 Willys MA jeeps built and delivered to the Army in early 1941, fifty with four-wheel steering.
The original caption of this photo gives a date of 1945. This is very unlikely since the Willys MA was produced in 1941 and most of the original production were subsequently sent to Russia or England under Lend-Lease. The Willys MA was the basis for the standard WW II jeep, produced by Willys (as the MB) and Ford (as the GPW).
