About this title

Synopsis:

Adapted from a spartan, World War II military design, Jeep is today an integral part of the DaimlerChrysler family and a major player in the lucrative SUV market. This colour history profiles the Jeep marque's remarkable evolution, from the delivery of the first Willys Overland model to Allied military services in 1941, through its years as the bedrock of American Motors Corporation and on to its acquisition by Chrysler. Striking colour photography and evocative archival images of classic Jeeps from throughout the years depict such popular and collectible models as CJs, pickups, Jeepsters, Forward Control trucks, military Jeeps, Wagoneers, Cherokees, and Wranglers. All are shown in their "natural" surroundings: climbing hills, hopping boulders, traversing bogs, and plowing through snow drifts.
