Add to SetSummary
Ford Motor Company did not produce civilian vehicles from 1942 to 1945, instead turning its resources to the production of military vehicles and other war materiel. Jeeps, ambulances, trucks, and automobiles were all built for Allied forces -- along with bomber airplanes, gliders, tanks, and other items. The automotive industry provided one fifth of American manufacturing output during World War II.
