Replaced the CJ-3A in 1953, the year Kaiser Motors bought Willys-Overland and dropped "Overland" from the name, with a higher grille and hood to clear the new Willys Hurricane engine. A four-speed manual became optional in 1963 at $194, with a 17.5 ft turning radius. About 196,000 were built to 1968 (155,494 in the US), a substantial share being the M606 militarised export version for the Mutual Defense Assistance Program. The design was licensed to Mitsubishi in Japan and Mahindra in India, which built it long after 1968.
