Willys-Overland nameplate dates back to 1908. Willys was the
registered trademark owner of the name Jeep. The Jeep name is
thought to have derived from the phonetic pronunciation of the
first letters of the term "General Purpose". Over 650,000 military
units were built during World War II, in 1945 Willys began
production of the civilian jeep version, with the model designation
of C-J. This 1948 Willys Jeep CJ-2A was 1 of 74,122 produced. It is
equipped with the reliable 60 horsepower Go-Devil 4 cylinder
engine. The Willys-Overland Company and the Jeep trademark were
ultimately sold to Kaiser in 1953 and Kaiser continued to produce
the Jeep until the sale of Kaiser-Jeep to AMC in 1970.
