Willys-Overland History (Continued from top)
Willys-Overland Logo From 1912 to 1918 only Ford produced more cars than Willys-Overland. In 1917 Willys made Willys-Overland a division of the Willys Corporation and added the Duesenberg Motors Corporation as a division in 1919. In 1936 the Willys-Overland Motor Company was renamed Willys-Overland Motors. Willys-Overland built over 350,000 Jeeps during World War II and tried to attract the consumer market afterwards but sales were only marginal. In 1953 Kaiser Motors purchased Willys-Overland and renamed it Willys Motor Company. Then it was changed to the Kaiser-Jeep Corporation in 1963, the Willys name was removed in 1965, and the company was bought by AMC (American Motors Corporation) in 1970. In 1980 Renault came aboard to manufacture the CJ Jeep series and that continued until 1986. In 1987 Chrysler bought the American Motors Corporation. |
