SynopsisThe definitive, fully illustrated celebration of an auto manufacturer that paved its own way by going off-road is now updated to celebrate Jeep's 80th anniversary., From practical and rugged wartime transport to thoroughly modern vehicles for on- and off-road adventure, Jeeps have grown with America itself. In Jeep: Eight Decades from Willys to Wrangler, automotive writer and historian Patrick R. Foster chronicles the stories behind the design and production of Jeep vehicles. From the beginning of World War II to today, Foster details all the iconic models: military-issue Jeeps, the first postwar CJs, now-classic SUVs of the 1960s and 1970s such as the Wagoneer, and current off-road machines and on-road family haulers. Foster expertly recounts the corporate shifts, financial struggles and successes, and, above all, the enduring SUVs and trucks right up through the 2030 models-including Wranglers, Cherokees, and the much-anticipated Gladiator pickup. A beautiful tribute to a company that never quit, Jeep: Eight Decades from Willys to Wrangler reminds us that sometimes the road less traveled was just waiting for the right truck.
