The wartime Jeep continues to fascinate enthusiasts around the world,
nearly eight decades after the first prototypes were built. Yet, while
it is true that there was only ever one Jeep, it is emphatically not the
case that there was only one variety of Jeep.
Not only were Jeeps built by both Willys and Ford, but the supposedly
standardised design continued to evolve during production. As a result,
there are multiple differences of specification - some major, some
tiny - among the models.
Through the painstakingly researched text, and through detailed colour
photography of outstanding examples of the cars, Factory-Original
Wartime Jeeps attempts to identify and illustrate those differences for
the benefit of enthusiasts who would like to return their Jeeps to
factory-original specification and equipment in every respect.
