Chevrolet Caprice Station Wagon
The Jeep grew from an American Bantam Car Company prototype built in 1940 for testing by the U.S. Army. It established the configuration and features seen in the World War II and later military versions as well as the civilian CJs and Wranglers, but some out-of-the-ordinary variants have also appeared.
Willys MB Becomes the Standard
Bantam built several thousand examples of an early production model, but was effectively squeezed out amid fears that it could not produce the vehicles in sufficient numbers. Willys-Overland thus became the major supplier of the first standardized model to enter large-scale production, the MB. Ford, which like Bantam had made a limited run of an early version, became a second supplier of the MB and called it the GPW.
Willys sensed commercial value in the MB and in 1945 introduced the civilian CJ-2A, essentially an MB and instantly familiar to nearly everyone who had served in the military – and not just on the Allied side – during World War II.
