Willys Jeep (Cj3b) Malayalam Review and History/ Lady autovlogger Vandana Siva from Queen On Wheels

The Jeep CJ models are both a series and a range of small, open-bodied off-road vehicles and compact pickup trucks, built and sold by several successive incarnations of the Jeep automobile marque from 1945 to 1986. The 1945 Willys Jeep was the world's first mass-produced civilian four-wheel drive car. Overview Production 1953-1968 Body and chassis Related Willys M606 Powertrain Engine 134 cu in (2.2 L) Hurricane I4 Dimensions Wheelbase 80 in (2,032 mm)[27] Length 129.875 in (3,299 mm)[12] The Willys CJ-3B replaced the CJ-3A in 1953, the same year Willys-Overland was bought by Kaiser Motors. The Kaiser parent company removed "Overland" from the Willys Motors subcompany name. The CJ-3B introduced a higher grille and hood to clear the new Willys Hurricane engine. A four-speed manual transmission became optional in 1963, at an extra cost of $194.[12] The turning radius was 17 ft 6 in (5.3 m).[28] Until 1968, about 196,000 CJ-3Bs were produced, of which 155,494 were assembled in the U.S.[29][30] The CJ-3B was turned into the M606 military jeep (mostly used for export, through 1968) by equipping it with commercially available heavy-duty options, such as larger tires and springs, and by adding black-out lighting, olive drab paint, and a trailer hitch. Shipments of the M606 militarized version of the Jeep CJ-3B, exported for military aid under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program, accounted for a substantial percentage of the limited CJ-3B production in the 1960s.[29] credits- Wikipedia
