Ace Cafe celebrates the 81st anniversary of the Jeep


Ace Cafe London’s regular monthly All-American Cruise-In on Saturday 26th February celebrates the 81st anniversary of the Jeep from 4pm.
 

Eighty-one years ago, and after arduous testing, Willys-Overland was awarded the contract in 1941 to deliver to the United States (U.S.) Military a 1/4 ton “light reconnaissance vehicle”.
 

It’s the stuff of legend,  the U.S. Army requested a vehicle—and drove off in a hero, the Jeep!
