8. Jeep Willys Wagon
After the war, there were lots of used Jeep Willys military vehicles that proved their worth on battlefields all over the world. However, the post-war buyers wanted something more civilized and with a closed body. So soon, Jeep produced the Willys Overland SUV, as well as a panel truck.
Those cars used Jeep’s rugged mechanics and chassis construction but offered more comfort, usability, and features. Using proven, four and six-cylinder drivetrains, the Willys Overland Jeep came in a pickup, station wagon or panel wagon version. The buyers loved these models and besides the U.S., they assembled these Jeeps in South America, as well.
