At $12 US thats kinda steep if I want 15 or 20.

The cliffnotes on the Jeep history provided by VonRyan is somewhat close. It was a conglomeration of parts combined into one design by the Warboard. The exterior of the Jeep is largely Ford designed, powertrain from Willys, drivetrain by Bantam.

The trucks on the Autorack are really M151 Mutts which were designed by Ford, built by AMC. At the same time those were developed Jeep produced the M38's making them contemporaries. Whats more interesting is that you would see the MB/GPW ("WWII Jeeps" which production ceased in 1945) still in service, in limited number, alongside both the M151 and the M38 through Vietnam.

Okay,  what am I doing wrong. I went to that web site, found the list of unpainted N scale kits, and thought I check 'em out. Butno matte4r what vehicle I cick on, it takes me to the Willy's jeep. I wanna see that Morris Minor. and the Open Kadet. But they all just take me to the jeep. WTH?!!

Although GimpLizard is indeed correct (i.e., clicking on any product in the vehicle catalog pages will reult in your being redirected to the Willy's Jeep product page), here are the English translated links for the MZZ site map and N-Scale vehicle product pages.
