In article , john Szalay says... CJ7...right? Not quite. The "CJ-7" was first produced by AMC in 1987. The War time General Purpose, (G-P) or jeeps were either "MB" built by Willys-Overland, or "GPW" built by Ford. The "GPW" was a Ford code; "G"= Government vehicle, "P"= 80" wheel base, and "W"= Willys. Ford also produced the "GPA" or amphbious "G-P". The first "CJ" or "Civilian Jeep was produced for civilian use in late 1945. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Amazed & pleased to learn that CJ actually stands for something that makes sense and not some mindless letters that their marketing people just pulled out of their butt. ....ya...I'm not a jeep guy. First car was a worn out 1954 Austin Healey and second car an almost worn out 57 chevy. * |

It is surprising that such a supposedly professional news outfit as Life would not even bother enough to notice such obvious.. Found many photos in the LIFE archives that are that way, reversed or even some cases inverted. mislabeled or even placed in the wrong set of images. |
