Few American vehicles, or vehicles made anywhere else in the world for that matter, are as universally iconic as the Jeep. From olive drab WWII military relics to the beloved Wrangler with its rear-mounted spare tire, open-air design, and telltale roll cage, the Jeep is a true classic. In Jeep: The History of America's Greatest Vehicle, automotive writer Patrick R. Foster chronicles over 70 years of Jeep vehicle design and production. Beginning with the Jeep as a crucial component of the American World War II fleet, Foster expertly recounts the corporate shifts, financial struggles and successes, close calls, and--above all--the enduring machines that have carried Jeep from the early 1940s to its triumphant role as a modern-day embodiment of American perseverance. Three hundred color and black-and-white historical photos complement his expertly written narrative of Jeep's entire history, reminding us that sometimes, the road less traveled was just waiting for the right truck"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "Jeep chronicles the history of this uniquely American brand, starting with its wartime inception and moving through the 20th century, fully illustrated throughout and loaded with facts and sidebars"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Jeep automobile $x History. 650 0 $a Sport utility vehicles $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a Jeep automobile. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982245 650 7 $a Sport utility vehicles. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01130401 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 2 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409034645.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20240323013957.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E46B0E22629511EAAA75F64797128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
