About this generation

The CJ-5 debuted in the 1950s with rounded styling inspired by the military M38A1 and became one of the longest-running Jeep nameplates. It was sold widely in the United States and evolved through many mechanical updates over its life. The CJ-5 remained in production until the early 1980s.
