GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Give a vehicle display a connection to a landmark chapter in American motoring. Kaiser Jeep emerged from the 1953 merger of Kaiser Motors and Willys-Overland, then focused its business on Jeep vehicles after ending passenger-car production in 1955. The company introduced the Forward Control, Wagoneer, and Gladiator, and adopted the Kaiser Jeep name in 1963. This plate celebrates Toledo’s place in the story and the changing corporate identities behind the Jeep legacy.
Kaiser Jeep grew from the 1953 merger of Kaiser Motors, based at Willow Run, Michigan, and Willys-Overland Company of Toledo, Ohio. Willys had once ranked among the largest U.S. automakers, but its fortunes declined during the 1930s. Its wartime contract to build jeeps for U.S. and Allied forces helped sustain the company, and from 1945 Willys focused largely on Jeep vehicles for civilian, commercial, government, and military use. Kaiser saw the Jeep line as a central asset in the merger. In 1955, Kaiser ended both companies’ passenger-car lines and concentrated on Jeep products in most markets; the business initially operated as Willys Motors. In 1963, it adopted the name Kaiser Jeep Corporation. Under Kaiser management, Jeep introduced the Forward Control vans, Wagoneer, and Gladiator, while the CJ and Jeep Wagon continued. The Jeepster returned in a new form in 1967. American Motors Corporation completed its purchase in 1970, making the company Jeep Corporation, an AMC subsidiary. Chrysler acquired AMC in 1987, primarily for the Jeep brand. Willys-Overland’s passenger-car dies had been sent to Argentina in 1955, where IKA continued car production until Renault took over in 1977.
