I think they were in the begining of it. They have some Jeeps there from Korea so it isn't an exact display anyway.

Fits the basic discription, if you check into them there was a lot more to the Jeep than just what Willys brought to the table for WWII.

The infamous grille (that whoever owns Jeep this week is so proud of) was designed by Ford to simplify construction during the war compared to the complicated original welded grille. Willys changed the number of slats after the war to keep the vehicle because Ford wanted it bad and was claiming the patent. That is why postwar Ford Jeep designs had the slats going horizontally (like the pictured M151)
