Jeep : Eight Decades from Willys to Wrangler

Few American vehicles, or vehicles made anywhere else in the world for that matter, are as universally iconic as the Jeep. From olive drab WWII military relics to the beloved Wrangler with its rear-mounted spare tire, open-air design, and telltale roll cage, the Jeep is a true classic.

In this book automotive writer Patrick R. Foster chronicles Jeep vehicle design and production from the beginning of World War II to present. Beginning with the Jeep as a crucial component of the American war fleet, Foster expertly recounts the corporate shifts, financial struggles and successes, close calls, and, above all, the enduring machines that have carried Jeep from the early 1940s to its triumphant role as a modern-day embodiment of American perseverance.

More than 200 color and black-and-white historical photos and period advertisements complement his expertly written narrative of Jeep's entire history, now updated to include five years of new model editions and prototypes, its return to the pickup market, and recent stunning marketplace successes.
The resulting book reminds us that sometimes the road less traveled was just waiting for the right truck.

Jeep Prototypes & Concept Vehicles Photo Archive

You're invited behind the scenes to witness the abundant variety of Jeep prototypes and concept vehicles. Jeep has undergone many ownership changes during its lifetime. Yet the extraordinary effort to produce new Jeep designs has remained constant.
Most of these designs did not endure beyond the design study or drawing stage, as many of the companies who have owned Jeep (up until 1987) lacked the resources to produce actual concept cars and prototypes. More recently, Jeep concept vehicles from Chrysler Corporation have been nothing short of amazing.

Now you can observe these rare vehicles up close through the exquisite photographs and illustrations in this book. See designers' sketches, cutaway drawings, clay models, concept vehicles, early Brooks Stevens designs and more. If you're a Jeep enthusiast, you'll love this exceptional book.
