Additionally, arly MBs had a wiper for each side of the windshield, hich were hand operated in contrast to later configurations.
And the main chassis or body component that distinguished an early Willys-Overland MB from the Ford-built GPW is the tubular front frame cross-member on the MB as opposed to the inverted U-shaped cross-member on the GPW with a flat top. The early Willys MB models placed the gasoline tank directly beneath the driver's seat which combined the two main target areas into one to lessen the chance of a catastrophic hit. Whatever better design features the Bantam and Ford entries had were then incorporated into the Willys car, oving it from an "A" designation to "B", hus the "MB" nomenclature. Willys-Overland received the largest of the military contracts for this ¼-ton 4x4, hich soon became beloved of American GIs for its versatility and reliability. Willys won the contract mostly due to its more powerful engine (the "Go Devil") which soldiers raved about, nd its lower cost and silhouette. By July 1941, he War Department desired to standardize and decided to select a single manufacturer to supply them with the next order for another 16,000 vehicles. Army Quartermaster Corps released a tender for ‘a general purpose personnel or cargo carrier’.
