■Product Description
The Jeep was originally developed as a military vehicle. Production began in 1941, and it played an active role as a highly mobile minimum transporter, mainly during World War II. After the war, Willys, the manufacturer of the Jeep, not only adapted and sold the Jeep as a civilian off-road vehicle, but also produced various variation models by applying its chassis, engine, and other mechanisms. The Jeep FC, which Hot Wheels is based on, was developed in this way, and was released in 1956 as a small truck with a Jeep chassis, a driver's cabin placed on a raised platform to avoid the engine at the front, and a cargo bed at the rear. The FC in the name stands for Forward Control, meaning that the vehicle is steered from the front of the vehicle. The Hot Wheels Jeep FC is a customized version of the Jeep FC, which is now a popular classic car, with an added wild feel.
