"As for the company/manufacturer itself, it's changed hands three times (four now, depending on how you count). In 1953 Kaiser took over Willys-Overland to form Kaiser-Jeep (the name didn't change to Kaiser- Jeep until 1963), in 1970 American Motors Corporation (AMC) took over Kaiser-Jeep, and in 1987 Chrysler bought AMC. Chrysler has now merged with Mercedes to create the Daimler-Chrysler Corporation. "DCX" still owns Jeep...

As one avid reader pointed out, it is AMC that was responsible for the CJ-7, the Wrangler, the downsized Cherokee/Wagoneer, the incredible 4.0L straight-six engine, Quadra-Trac and Selec-Trac, the CJ-8 Scrambler, most of the Grand Cherokee's design (it was being worked on as early as 1985), and the fact that Jeep still survives today, as under the faulty management of Kaiser, the company surely would have gone out of business in the early 70's. But, it was Jeep that later kept AMC in business in the late 70's and early 80's."

"The Company

* 1953: Kaiser take over Willys-Overland. ? 1963 ? -->
* 1970: American Motor Co. (AMC) take over Kaiser Jeep.
* 1982-1986: Renault owned AMC Jeep (I remember this well because I worked for Jeep in those years as a parts counterman for a dealership & hated the way they set up their microfiche for parts. We also had to deal with the cars Renault made. It was a nightmare. 4wheeldrive.guide at about.com --> - Kern L. Napoletano).
* 1987: Chrysler take over AMC (and Jeep).
* 1998: Mercedes Benz and Chrysler merge to form Daimler Chrysler."

There are lots more if you use the semi-evil Google with "history of Jeep"
