One of the greatest and most recognizable icons in American automotive history is the googly-eyed facade associated with Jeep. This informative overview takes enthusiasts through the entire history of Jeep vehicles, from the first utilitarian workhorse delivered to American GIs in 1941 to today's SUVs piloted by suburbanites. Stock production CJs, Wranglers, Wagoneers, and Cherokees are pictured both on and off the beaten path, along with less ubiquitous pickups, wagons and Commandos. In addition, heavily modified off-road Jeeps are captured in action, while appendices cover production years and volumes for all models.
