1944 Willys Jeep MB (02)
Image by Georg Schwalbach (GS1311)
The Willys MB US Army Jeep (formally the Truck, 1/4 ton, 4x4) and the Ford GPW were manufactured from 1941 to 1945. These small four-wheel drive utility vehicles are considered the iconic World War II Jeep, and inspired many similar light utility vehicles. Over the years, the World War II Jeep later evolved into the "CJ" civilian Jeep. Its counterpart in the German army was the Volkswagen Kübelwagen, also based on a small automobile, but which used an air-cooled engine and lacked 4 wheel drive.

This is a Jeep Wrangler Sahara which I witnessed loosing it's back left wheel as he was turning a corner. Poor guy didn't know what happened or where his wheel went.
Well, the missing wheel sailed across 9th street hopped the curb almost taking out a kid standing on the corner. Then crashed into the side of a Toyota Camry. Made a mess. The guy was grateful the kid wasn't hurt.
