		Eugene the Jeep was dog-like and could walk through walls and ceilings, climb trees, fly, and just about go anywhere it wanted; it is thought that soldiers at the time were so impressed with the new vehicle's versatility that they informally named it after the character.
		The term "jeep" would eventually be used as slang to refer to an airplane, a tractor used for hauling heavy equipment, and an autogyro.
		The original 9-slot grille associated with all WW2 jeeps was designed by Ford for their GPW, and because it weighed less than the original "Slat Grille" of Willys, (an arrangement of flat bars) was incorporated into the "Standardized jeep" design.

		Kaiser Jeep was the result of the merger between the Kaiser-Frazer Corporation, an independent automobile manufacturing company based in Willow Run, Michigan, and the Toledo, Ohio-based Willys-Overland Company.
		Going it alone, Henry J. Kaiser pursued the merger between Kaiser Industries and Willys-Overland, which was arranged in 1953; Kaiser hoped that the combined companies could provide a broad range of products that could compete with General Motors, the Chrysler Corporation and the Ford Motor Company, as well as Studebaker and the Nash-Kelvinator Corporation.
		As part of a general push to place all of their corporate holdings under the Kaiser name, the company changed the name of Willys Motors to Kaiser Jeep Corporation and removed the Willys name from all of the vehicles.

	Willys Overland Birth of the Jeep
		They proved to be rugged and dependable in the war, and by the time the soldiers came home, Jeeps were well known and loved for their durability and unstoppability.
		After the war, the best market opportunities were judged to be to continue making Jeeps, not only for the military (whose demand was much reduced) but to sell them to the civilian market as well.
		These were called the 'Jeep' Utility Vehicles and all retained clear influences of the military Jeep, but the forms were intermediate between the normal rounded forms of the autos of the period and the boxy Jeep.
