Most of the Army jeeps were cut up for scrap. I remember when they were coming up on government auctions. They required you to cut them up so they could not be used. They said they did not meet the current hyway safety standards so they make the buyer destroy them.

Were Jeeps created for use in World War 2?
The Jeep was created just before the US got into the war, a design of the Willys Auto Company. It was actually a quarter-ton truck, according to the army specifications calling for designs. The Willys design exceeded all requirements the army had set forth. It was phenomenal. But the Army was concerned that Willys, a small company, would not be able to build enough of them to meet the army's needs. The Army forced Willys to allow Ford and General Motors to build the vehicles. The army's contract with those giants specified they were responsible for defective parts. Tight-fisted Henry Ford was so worried that he might get stuck having to replace parts of jeeps built by GM that all Ford-built jeeps had their parts stamped with a capital "F". As a sop, the Army let Willys build a type of trailer to be towed behind jeeps. Willys, unsurprisingly, went out of business right after the war, and the rights to the design wound up with American Motors. AMC lasted a couple of more decades, but all that survives now is the Jeep.

What Jeeps did the US use in World War 2?
All WWII jeeps looked like somewhat smaller CJs. The design was from the Willys Automobile Company, in response to a request from the Army for a 1/4 ton, four wheel drive truck. The Willys design was phenomenal, and the Army knew it wanted all it could get. Willys was a small company, and the Army did not believe they could produce the vehicle in the numbers wanted. The Army got GM and Ford to produce the vehicles (Ford-built models have the Ford "F" on every bolt head). As a sop, Willys was allowed to produce little trailers designed to be towed behind the jeeps. Willys did not long survive after the war and was bought by American Motors, who continued to build Jeeps for decades. Many WWII soldiers referred to the vehicle as a "peep", not a jeep (just like they didn't really call themselves "GIs" either - both are postwar revisions of what was actually usually said).
