The CJ-5 was influenced by new corporate owner, Kaiser, and the Korean War M38A1 Jeep. It was
intended to replace the CJ-3B, but that model continued in production. The CJ-5 repeated this pattern,
continuing in production for 3 decades while three newer models appeared. A total of 603,303 CJ-5s
were produced between 1954 and 1983.
In 1965, Kaiser bought the casting rights to the Buick 225 in (3.7 L) V6 Dauntless and the CJ-5 and CJ-6
got a new engine with 155 hp (116 kW) supplementing the Willys Hurricane engine.
The CJ-6 was simply a 20-inch (508 mm) longer-wheelbase (101 in) CJ-5. Introduced in 1955 as a 1956
model, the CJ-6 was never very popular in the United States. Most CJ6 models were sold to Sweden
and South America. The U.S. Forest Service put a number CJ-6 Jeeps in to use. American sales ended
in 1975. Just 50,172 had been made when the series went out of production completely in 1981.
