This edition, which will be presented in Korea's 50s, is one of the Langler color editions, and is a model commemorating Willis MB in 1941, which became the most important turning point in Jeep history, symbolizing Jeep's heritage and innovative spirit of challenge.
Willis MB is known as a model that played a decisive role in the birth of the Jeep brand. It is a military vehicle manufactured based on the Quad, a prototype of the Willys-Overland company, which was selected as the standard vehicle in the open bidding for the construction of a correctional vehicle conducted by the U.S. military during World War II in 1940, and is a monumental model that is widely known around the world as the "Jeep," which is the prototype of today's SUV vehicle.Before the end of the war, Willis Overland registered the "Jeep" trademark rights, and later launched the first civilian model, the CJ-2A, beginning the history of the new Jeep brand.
Rangler's 41 Edition was named after Willis MB's release year and 41 colors, meaning "Olive Drab" color.The vehicle will be equipped with a special edition medium that inherits the MOPAR® pure auto-powerside step* and Willis' military spirit, and will be presented with a whisky hip flask set and tumbler'41 edition exclusive goods. Except for the Wrangler-Rubicon 2 door.
