The VW thing was a later version of the Kueblewagen ... unlike the Willy's jeep they were not a 4 x 4. The current Jeep is now just a brand under the Chrysler Corp, Fiat is another division within that family ... The Jeep as we remember it basically disappeared when Chrysler took over AMC, the CJ turned into the TJ, YJ or whatever they became, even though they still have retained that AMC straight inline 6. I have had 2 CJ's in the past and fondly remember them. They were extremely easy to work on and the bodies could take a beating. The carbs sucked on them, but then again easy to repair and replace. biLL
