Editing Jeep (section)

==Post-war military==
The Jeep has been widely imitated around the world, including in France by [[Delahaye]] and by [[Hotchkiss et Cie]] (after 1954, Hotchkiss manufactured Jeeps under license from Willys), and in Japan by [[Mitsubishi Motors]] and [[Toyota Land Cruiser|Toyota]]. The [[Land Rover]] was inspired by the Jeep. The utilitarian good looks of the original Jeep have been hailed by industrial designers and museum curators alike. The [[Museum of Modern Art]] described the Jeep as a masterpiece of [[Industrial design|functionalist design]] and has periodically exhibited the Jeep as part of its collection.<ref>{{cite news|last=Leigh Brown |first=Patricia |title=Where Do You Hang The 747? |newspaper=The New York Times |date=12 December 1998}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |publisher=The Museum of Modern Art |title=New Acquisitions—Smart Car, Volkswagen "Beetle," and Willys-Overland Jeep—Join Three Other Automobiles in MoMA's Collection |date=June 2002 |url=http://www.itibitismart.com/pdf/moma_smart_acquisition.pdf |access-date=17 October 2020 |archive-date=May 26, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130526031238/http://www.itibitismart.com/pdf/moma_smart_acquisition.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Pulitzer Prize]]-winning war correspondent [[Ernie Pyle]] called the jeep, along with the [[G.I.

Some ads claimed to offer "Jeeps still in the factory crate." This legend persisted for decades, despite the fact that Jeeps were never shipped from the factory in crates (although Ford did "knock down" Jeeps for easier shipping, which may have perpetuated the myth<ref>{{cite web |url= http://motorcitymusclecars.com/auto-parts-accessories/jeep-in-a-crate-50-the-legend-of-jeep-body-tubs/ |title=Jeep in a crate $50! - The legend of Jeep Body Tubs |website=motorcitymusclecars.com |date=7 July 2010 |access-date=18 January 2015 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150107092317/http://motorcitymusclecars.com/auto-parts-accessories/jeep-in-a-crate-50-the-legend-of-jeep-body-tubs/ |archive-date=7 January 2015 }}</ref>).

The ''[[Jeepney]]'' is a unique type of taxi or bus created in the [[Philippines]]. The first Jeepneys were military-surplus MBs and GPWs, left behind in the war-ravaged country following World War II and Filipino independence. Jeepneys were built from Jeeps by lengthening and widening the rear "tub" of the vehicle, allowing them to carry more passengers. Over the years, Jeepneys have become the most ubiquitous symbol of the modern Philippines, even as they have been decorated in more elaborate and flamboyant styles by their owners. Most Jeepneys today are scratch-built by local manufacturers, using different powertrains.

Aside from Jeepneys, backyard assemblers in the Philippines construct replica Jeeps with stainless steel bodies and surplus parts, and are called "owner-type jeeps" (as jeepneys are also called "passenger-type jeeps").<ref>{{Cite web|last=Meiners |first=Jens|date=2016-12-23|title=The History of the Jeepney, the Philippines' Mass-Transit Solution|url= https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a15344340/the-history-of-the-jeepney-the-philippines-mass-transit-solution |access-date=2021-09-20 |work=Car and Driver|language=en-US}}</ref>

In the United States military, the Jeep has been supplanted by a number of vehicles (e.g. Ford's [[M151]]) of which the latest is the [[Humvee]].

===CJ-V35/U===
After World War II, Jeep began to experiment with new designs, including a model that could drive underwater. On February 1, 1950, contract N8ss-2660 was approved for 1,000 units "especially adapted for general reconnaissance or command communications" and "constructed for short period underwater operation such as encountered in landing and fording operations". The engine was modified with a snorkel system so that the engine could properly breathe underwater.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cj3apage.com/index/CJ-V35U.htm |title=The 3A's Navy Cousin - The CJ-V35/U |website=Cj3apage.com |access-date=17 October 2020 |archive-date=September 3, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130903140713/http://cj3apage.com/index/CJ-V35U.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 1965, Jeep developed the [[Kaiser Jeep M715|M715]] {{convert|1.25|ST|tonne|adj=on|abbr=off}} army truck, a militarized version of the civilian J-series Jeep truck, which served extensively in the [[Vietnam War]]. It had heavier full-floating axles and a foldable, vertical, flat windshield. Today, it serves other countries and is still being produced by [[Kia Motors|Kia]] under license.
