A Brief History of Jeep
Jeep originated when the United States government issued ordinances for cars to be produced during World War II. The Jeep 4x4 was the first Jeep made, which served as "America's greatest contribution to modern warfare." The Jeep MB, another war vehicle, was widely modified for long-range desert patrol, sawmilling, firefighting pumpers, snow plowing, and more. The first civilian Jeep was the CJ, which aided in farming and agriculture. The CJ became known as the "All-Around Farm Work Horse." Soon, Jeep began selling pickup trucks with four-wheel drive, the first American carmaker to do so. Although Jeep delved into making passenger cars after World War II, the company refocused its efforts on making cars for the United States Army as well as farming. The Jeep Station Wagon was released in 1946, the Jeep Truck in 1947, and the Jeepster in 1948.
In 1961, Jeep released the two-wheel-drive Fleetvan that was designed for light-duty, multi-stop applications, such as postal delivery and ice-cream trucks. The Jeep Wagoneer, an SUV, was released in 1962 and was produced for 28 years, the longest continuous automotive production run in United States history. In 1970, American Motors Corporation purchased Jeep for $70 million. Then, in 1971, Jeep released the J-10 and J-20 pickup trucks. The Jeep Cherokee won Four Wheeler magazine's Achievement Award in 1974. In 1987, Chrysler bought out American Motors Corporation, and Jeep continues to be owned by Chrysler today. Today's Jeep headquarters is located in Toledo, Ohio. It is not uncommon to see Jeeps on the roads of Eaton, West Alexandria, Gratis, Camden, and Fairhaven, and we at Prebco Automotive, LLC in Preble have been repairing Jeeps since 2008. We can take care of your Jeep no matter what model you have.
