Jeep is one ofthe world’s most recognisable automotive brands – its origins rooted in therugged, go-anywhere military vehicles of the Second World War. After the war,Willys-Overland developed a growing range of civilian models, from light trucksand rural workhorses to leisure and utility variants. In the 1950s and’60s, Jeep grew rapidly under Kaiser and later Kaiser-Jeep, with specialistmodels and licensed production in export markets.
