Re: [Amc-list] IH as first "SUV"

Quote from NYT article:
"Dodge’s Town Wagon wasn’t offered with four-wheel drive until 1957. Willys, Kaiser and later American Motors sold civilian versions of the Army jeep, but these spartan vehicles were hardly the forebears of the modern soccer-mom S.U.V."

While the author doesn't specifically mention the Willys wagon, it does fall under the category of "spartan vehicles". It was a wagon body on a CJ frame, more the size of a Geo Tracker or Suzuki Samurai (four door versions) -- definitely not a big comfy SUV!!
