Manufacturing plant.
So i have just learned that Ford had five manufacturing plants for jeeps. I know Willys had the big one at Toledo in Ohio, was that their only manufacturing plant ?

Hello Mark,
Yes Willys had one plant in Toledo and built all their jeeps there.
I believe they out produced Ford in number as well.
The Germans I believe had the Toledo Jeep Plant torn down in recent years, when that had taken control of Chrysler Corp.
Best Regards,
Ray

Re: Manufacturing plant.
Guys, many thanks for your feedback, sad to see the Willys factory gone. Roger thanks for that interesting thread, the production figures were of interest.
