			<description><![CDATA[The story of how the <SPAN STYLE="font-weight: bold;">Willys MB</SPAN> “won the war” has been told over and over again.
				<BR />
				<BR />
				However, the Willys / Jeep foray into military vehicles surely did not stop there.   
				The <SPAN STYLE="font-weight: bold;">M38</SPAN> and <SPAN STYLE="font-weight: bold;">M38A1</SPAN> battled their way through Korea.  
				The <SPAN STYLE="font-weight: bold;">M38A1</SPAN> also saw action in Vietnam.   
				These were joined by troop carriers like the rare <SPAN STYLE="font-weight: bold;">M677 Forward Control</SPAN>. 
				<BR /> 
				<BR />
				With the advent HMMWV, Jeeps no longer saw much military action.   
				However, the Jeep military prowess has been reborn with the new heavy-duty <SPAN STYLE="font-weight: bold;">Jeep J8</SPAN>.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[The First Sport Utility Wagon]]></title>
			<link><![CDATA[http://www.vintagejeeps.net/gallery.aspx?gallery=1955_willys_pickup]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[While the SUV craze has come and went the Jeep brand lives on.  
				The Jeep brand was in fact the birthplace of the first sport utility wagon.   
				<BR /> 
				<BR />
				In 1946 the first <SPAN STYLE="font-weight: bold;">Willys Wagon</SPAN> was built.
				Over 300,000 of these vehicles were manufactured between 1946 and 1965.
				This vehicle was the first 4-wheel drive wagon and was the predecessor to vehicles like the <SPAN STYLE="font-weight: bold;">Cherokee</SPAN>, <SPAN STYLE="font-weight: bold;">Grand Cherokee</SPAN>, <SPAN STYLE="font-weight: bold;">Liberty</SPAN>, and <SPAN STYLE="font-weight: bold;">Commander</SPAN>.  
				<BR /> 
				<BR />
				In 1947 the <SPAN STYLE="font-weight: bold;">Willys Wagon</SPAN> was joined by the <SPAN STYLE="font-weight: bold;">Willys Jeep Truck</SPAN>.
				This vehicle shared many of the same parts  with the Wagon. 
				From 1947 to 1965, more than 200,000 are manufactured.
				<BR /> 
				<BR />
				Many veterans returning from World War II were now sold on the Jeep brand’s reliability and ruggedness.  
				They purchased the Willys Wagon and Trucks to transport their family.  
				We are fortunate enough to own a <SPAN STYLE="font-weight: bold;">1955 Willys Truck</SPAN> that is currently undergoing a full restoration.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Contrary to popular belief, the much-maligned Compass, is not the Willys / Jeep brand’s first foray into vehicles meant only for on-highway use.   
				The Willys brand’s first vehicles were in fact cars.  
				By 1914, Willys was actually the number two automaker in America, second only to Ford.
				<BR /> 
				<BR />
				The coupes produced by Willys in the 1930s and early 1940s are now some of the most sought after vehicles by the hot rod community.
				<BR /> 
				<BR />
				World War II brought an end to car production at Willys, but by 1952 another car was rolling off the line at the same time as the rugged CJs, Wagons, and Pickups.   
				This vehicle was the rare <SPAN STYLE="font-weight: bold;">Willys Aero</SPAN> compact car.
				This is a non-utility vehicle that is currently on our wish list.]]></description>
