11 July 2019

Mopar showed Italian fans of Jeep off-road performance of the Wrangler 1941

Decoration fan events Camp Jeep 2019, held in Italy, in-house tuning Department has made Mopar off-road version of the Wrangler 1941 Jeep Wrangler stylized of all Jeep is the forefather of the legendary military Jeep Willys MB, respectively, of issue 41, which is reflected in the number "1941" printed on the hood of his modern descendant.


However, was in the history of tuning Mopar and much more like the ancestor in appearance and functional prototypes, for example, the concept Wrangler 75th Salute.

Version of the Jeep Wrangler 75th Salute, of course, much more in keeping with the historical functionality of the prototype the Willys MB, but to run in the series was totally unusable, at least for reasons of passive safety

However, now Mopar has obviously decided that enough is enough and a family of seven vertical slot grille and round headlights that came from the Willys MB is even on the logo.


The most significant differences between SUVs of the series "1941" (except for the short 2-door Wrangler a similar package proposed for the long-base version Unlimited) – lifevania 51 mm suspension and snorkel on the right side of the hood, as well as door-sill guards rock rails Performance.





The rest were reduced to pure decoration in the black bars on the sides and hood graphics "1941", matte black door sill covers and the fuel filler flap.

 also Added all-weather mats from a geographical pattern under the terrain.

Moreover, the offered the following options: matte black mirror housings, led headlamp spotlight and a number of travel gadgets.

Unlike other "festival" development Mopar performance "1941" will not sink into oblivion, and will appear in the showrooms of Jeep this autumn. The package will be available with a diesel Wrangler (in Russia not supplied) all specifications. By the way, in Europe, Wrangler in addition to the petrol 2-litre turboservice (272 PS, 400 N•m) naturally offered with a 2.2-liter turbo diesel 2.2 Multijet II (203 HP, 450 N•m), for what is this "exclusive nostalgic" series and is intended.

PS In the history of the car, there is probably another one confusing and controversial history as the history of the emergence of the trade of the Jeep brand. The origin of the word is a separate and complicated Saga, but I will only mention some facts: the firm Willys-Overland applied for a trademark "Jeep" in the midst of world war II – in 1943. Here is how quickly and fully this manufacturer appreciated the potential of the brand, just two years emerged on the horizon, although the first shipments of the Willys MB (and Ford GPW similar) on the back Board were more signs-signboards with the names of the manufacturers, however, and this is was banned by the US government since the patent for the car was still in 1942, assigned to the U.S. army, which in turn gave the Pentagon the right not to pay inventors-developers of royalties. In July 1945 (even walked past the battles with the Japanese Empire in the Pacific) is a civilian version of the Willys Jeep CJ2A (Civilian Jeep from, model 2 type a) opened the first postwar 1946 model year for civilian passenger cars in the victorious United States, 

On the tail Board (the spare wheel moved to the right side) of the post-war Willys CJ2A Jeep proudly shone a big enough podshtampovki with brand name of course, Willys

In 1948, American Bantam won outright, the court recognized that (the war picks the crumbs from the table of manufacturers of SUVs, i.e., Willys and Ford, making them only the trailers) the inventor of the jeep like vehicle with all-wheel drive, respectively, prohibiting Willys spread in advertising, what is it they are "inventors of the jeep". However, in 1950, the firm American Bantam eventually went bankrupt and Willys-Overland simply bought the rights to the brand Jeep with a hammer.

The view is utilitarian civilian models of the Jeep from Willys MB to the modern Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited JL series (in the foreground, a veteran Willys MB right behind them) 

Further, in 1963, having failed with cars models Kaiser-Willys (firm Kaiser-Fraiser bought too unlucky with cars the firm Willys-Overland in 1953), was renamed Kaiser-Jeep, thus the title of the series of vehicles, Jeep has become a part of the name of the company producing them. Then, in 1970, Kaiser-Jeep was purchased by the fourth American automaker American Motors Co. which included the Jeep brand survived, respectively, to the absorption of the AMC concern Chrysler in 1986, incidentally, at the initiative of the recently deceased legendary Lee Eccoci, and then the heads of the Chrysler Corporation. Since the brand (and the corresponding production unit) Jeep is still the most profitable in the composition of sequentially Chrysler Corporation (since 1986), DaimlerChrysler (1998), Chrysler Group LLC (since 2007), and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) – 2014.
P. P. S. by the Way, check Jeep vehicles in the USA for 6 months of 2019 (according to the site goodcarbadcar.net) was 456 281 units (-7,83% over the same period in 2018).
