Find Used Jeeps in Utah
Jeep first shared with Ford Motor
Company the manufacturing of the GPW (G -
governmental, P - wheel base type, W -
Willys-Overland) inspection vehicle for the United
States Army in 1941. The company then changed to the
name Kaiser-Jeep. When American Motors (AMC) bought
Kaiser-Jeep they soon began receiving investment
from French automobile manufacturer Renault. With a
downtrend in sales, the Chrysler Corporation
acquired Renault. More recently, after many changes
in ownership the DaimlerChrysler Company owned the
rights to Jeep. The Jeep' headquarters is in Toledo,
Ohio in U.S.A. They produce a vehicle that is known
for its four wheel SUVs, which are suitable for both
everyday driving, and weekend adventures. The origin
of ‘Jeep’ is not known for sure, but a guess is that
it came from "GP," or "general purpose.†The first
civilian Jeep came around in the mid 1940s, and was
aimed at a market for farmers and construction
workers. By the 1950s, new models such as the CJ-3B
and the CJ-5 had been introduced. The CJ-5 had the
longest production run of any Jeep vehicle,
continuing for 30 years. In the 60s Jeep achieved a
milestone with its Wagoneer. This was, for the first
time, geared for family driving, and was the first
four-wheel-drive vehicle equipped with an automatic
transmission. During the 1970s, Jeep's financial
gains increased as four-wheel-drive vehicles became
increasingly popular with large sections of American
buyers. The Cherokee and the Wrangler were rolled
out in the 1980s. In 2007, Daimler sold the Chrysler
Group to a private equity firm. Yet another
ownership change, but it will not change the face of
Jeep, a rugged multi purpose vehicle that will
always have a place in the United States automotive
history and loyal followers.
