And we’re still having problems with that dang steering box!

But in all seriousness, if I hadn’t had to put a new roof on my house, this Gladiator would be sitting in my driveway!

Why was it 'Jeep' in quotes?

Apparently, they were prejudiced against “Jeeps”

Can’t answer why, but “Jeep” was used in the early years. …. But these were from before the trademark acquisition in 50.

A guess, Kaiser fully acquired Kaiser Willys in 63 and became Kaiser Jeep. The later adds don’t have the quotes. Attorneys involved ?

Yet my 63 was still a Willys-

Weird, mine’s titled as a Jeep but it’s obviously a Willys according to the hood

I think it falls along the same lines as a “Ya don’t know what ya got ‘til it’s gone” type of situation.

Because when you get old you ARE the history. Ha.

Nice truck for sure. Now, if Jeep would just put a V-8 in the current Gladiator I believe it would open up the customer base a lot.

Like ? Perhaps it’s because you lived it. In my case as long as I can remember growing up with Dad’s 3A, (and a GPW with it for a while) along with his Jeeper buddies with various Willys models absorbing at least some of their knowledge….. Now
