REPLICA headlight guards for WWII jeep Willys MB or Ford GPW. Made for Roy Van Wicklin of Las Vegas. These were used mainly on the Canadian contract jeeps and British jeeps in 1942 -43 but do show up in use right through to 1945. Some were used on US Army / US Army Air Froce jeeps in the UK and ETO / North West Europe. Sometimes both were used and sometimes only the left side as a Bridge plate often covered the right headlight hole. These bolt into the grill and protect the headlights. The originals are so rare that I have only heard of 2 or 3 surviving. Special headlights with a blackout shield projecting were used behind these. That is similar to, but different from then Black Out Drive Light (BODL) on the left front fender of later jeeps (c. August-September 1942 onwards. Correct for the slat grill slat grille Willys jeeps. These were used for driving in the Blackout in Britain and under combat conditions. Bare metal. $80 per pair. |
