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.
