Kaiser-Jeep Deuce

[ajg6989]

I hate referring to my deuce as made by Kaiser-Jeep everyone always puts make as Kaiser and model as Jeep no one understands. I might as well say its made by Kaiser and leave it at that.

You have my condolences. Mine's a '71 made by the Jeep Division of American Motors and even yours truly ins't sure what to call it.

The only place this matters is on your insurance policy, in which case you want them to call it whatever is cheapest.

I had the same problem. Convinced MVA to list it as AM General. Sounded good at the time.
Insurance didn't care what I called it as long as the check cleared.
Attached a parking sign for you if you decide to leave it as Kaiser.

From:http://www.amgeneral.com/corporate_history.php/amSid/2a893c0bc81261b241714fa91528c90a

The origins of AM General can be traced to 1903, when the Standard Wheel Company of Terre Haute, Indiana, expanded its bicycle operation to include the Overland Automotive Division to manufacture motor vehicles

In 1908, John North Willys purchased the Overland Automotive Company

In 1963, Willys Motors was renamed the Kaiser Jeep Corporation.

In 1970, American Motors Corporation purchased the Kaiser Jeep Corporation from Kaiser Industries.

On April 1, 1971, AM General Corporation was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Motors Corporation and separate from the Jeep Corporation.

Hope this helps
