Jeep CJ evolution

The first civilian Jeep — the wartime quarter-ton tamed with a tailgate and side-mounted spare; 212,402 built.

Refined flat-fender with a one-piece windshield; 131,843 built.

High-hood variant to clear the taller Hurricane F-head engine; licensed worldwide (Mahindra, Mitsubishi).

Rounded-hood long-runner derived from the military M38A1 — 28 years and 603,303 built.

Extended-wheelbase CJ-5; just 50,172 built, mostly for export.

Longer wheelbase made room for an automatic; the direct Wrangler predecessor.

Extended-wheelbase CJ-7 with a pickup half-cab — the cult 'Scrambler'.
