Coloring Book Jeep

Jeep brand was officially founded in 1941 and began by building vehicles specifically for the military. They were the first mass-produced four-door cars, thus beginning the era of SUVs. They WERE the most popular cars in the United States military. Mostly because of the country's involvement in helping Europe during the war. Therefore, several coloring pages with these vehicles in the military version will appear on our site.

After the war ended, the manufacturer of these cars decided to capitalize on their newfound popularity and created many new designs. In the 1950s, Jeep began to explore more recreational opportunities - selling cars for every person, not just the military and introduced 7 unique models including the M-170, CJ-5 and FC-170. The CJ-5 was the longest production model from 1954 to 1984.

The brand was sold to Henry J. Kaiser in 1953 for $60 million. Kaiser played a major role in the creation of 4WD and its future. Under Kaiser, Jeep production expanded to 30 different countries and was sold in over 150 countries worldwide. The 1960s brought the contemporary Cherokee and Grand Cherokee models. In 1963, Jeep introduced the J-Series, a Wagoneer model that was larger than a station wagon and officially retained the "Sport Utility Vehicle" title.

In 1970, Kaiser Jeep was purchased by American Motors Corporation, and their first act was to separate military and civilian recreational production. During this time, this brand also introduced three different engine options. In 1976, when they celebrated their 35th birthday, they introduced the CJ-7 model, which later became the iconic "Wrangler". In 1987, just after the introduction of the Jeep Wrangler, American Motors Corporation was sold to Chrysler Corporation. The new management revolutionized the previous performance of many of the brand's vehicles, elevating the Wrangler and Cherokee to stardom.

The Wrangler was named "4×4 Best Vehicle" in Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road rankings, and the Cherokee was named Best Off-Road Vehicle by Four Wheeler magazine in 1997. Today, both the Wrangler and Cherokee combine more than 50 years of tradition and styling elements. Jeep's famous boxy, off-road character will forever stand the test of time as Jeep continues to reinvent itself and its products year after year. Off-road driving is simply better in a Jeep.
