Default 1943 Chevrolet Jeep?

I know that this one is not Canadian but it is a Chevrolet built product. It is supposed to be a 1943 Chevrolet Cel, serial number 2. The U.S. Army always wanted jeeps to weight less than 1,000 pounds. This was Chevrolet's prototype of a lightweight jeep, having a net weight of 1,062 pounds. I believe it is one of 2 prototypes still in existence.

Who can tell me something about it? It is in the Military Technology Museum of New Jersey. USA.

Regards Rick.
