rjluna2 ◊ 2016-02-08 13:54	So, Mahindra Jeep rules out Didier?
eLMeR ◊ 2016-02-09 22:48	If an Indian model, Mahindra CJ-3B would be the real name, I think. It has Willys written on the hood side and, like this other, above the grille, this latter looking like the one apparently specific to Mahindra vehicles. Same clues, same question: ⇒ 1953+ Willys Jeep CJ-3B or Mahindra CJ-3B?
DidierF ◊ 2016-02-09 23:40	Mmmh… I think the name is Willys CJ-3B. Mahindra & Mahindra had the contract to build them under licence but the cars sported the name Willys. (I'm in the soup, now. But I think that later models would be Mahindras, not this one.)
DidierF ◊ 2016-02-09 23:45	Qu'a-t-on fait pour les autres made in India? Ah, we have this only example with date, /vehicle_855749-Willys-Jeep-CJ-3B-1953.html but after a same kind of debate. The fact that the brand 'Willys' is on the hood makes me think we should keep it in the file. Un an et demi après, je fais de ces deux machines, celle d'ici et celle placée en lien par eLMeR, des '1953 Willys CJ-3B'. Dans le doute, tant qu'un 'buff' nous venant d'Inde ne nous aura pas prouvé que ce sont des créations originales d'Asie du Sud, allons toujours au modèle d'origine, s'pas ? -- Last edit: 2017-10-27 19:06:34
