This is just a guess, but it might be a Willys Jeep, like the ones the Americans used in the war. |

Willys CJ-2A 'Jeep' (1945) with unusual bar over the windscreen and bottom mounted wipers. |

Others were listed as "Willys Jeep CJ..." so except if you really want to put 'Jeep' at the end for all the others, I suggest to keep it like current  |

I wrote it that way and, more importantly put 'Jeep' in quotes, as there still was a legal battle over the copyright of the 'Jeep' name. In 1950 Willys won the case -- which is rather strange looking at the history of the word jeep which goes back to the first world war. It was probably handled by briefcases filled with Franklin papers ... .gif ";)") For us this means until 1950 'Jeep' is a nickname and goes behind the real name and in inverted kommas. With the takeover of Willys Overland by Kaiser the brand name was changed to 'Willys Jeep', later to 'Kaiser Jeep', then to 'AMC', and finally to 'Jeep' alone. Quite a lot of cars listed under the brand name 'Jeep' are wrongly classified. I don't have the time to reclassify all of these, but we have enough Jeep-experts that could do it. |

The actual JEEP details are rather complicated as mentioned. I believe Willys used Jeep beginning 1946, years before the case was settled in court. Futhermore the WWII models were lower case "jeeps" (along with other unique vehicles dating back even futher as Alexnader mentions). The 1/4 ton 4x4 vehicle of WWII is a "jeep". Those after were a "Jeep" and affiliated with numberous other parent brands. Very complicated indeed. BTW: Often a similar bar was added above the windshield to provide more headroom when the top was installed. -- Last edit: 2008-01-14 00:36:26 |
