THE UNIVERSAL JEEP, 1942-1986: A Timeline

This timeline shows the sequence and the years of production for "Universal Jeep" 1/4-ton utility models made between 1942 (Willys and Ford began mass production in late 1941), and 1986 (the purchase of American Motors by Chrysler, and the replacement of the CJ-7 by the YJ Wrangler). The diagram does not show exact start and stop dates; in some cases consecutive models overlapped slightly in production.
