So maybe it’s not a military vehicle per se, but any vehicle directly derived from the Willys MB gets a nod in my book. Just like Pat Foster, I always wondered about the Jeep designation convention. For example, the CJ-2s and CJ-3s got A or B suffixes, while the CJ-5s through CJ-8s didn’t. (And don’t get me started on the recent switch from TJ, WJ, etc. to JK, WK, etc. Yes, I’m anal about things like that). Point? Yes, they seemed to skip the CJ-4, and nobody seemed to notice until Foster’s two-page article (scanned below) in SIA #166, July-August 1998, in which he tracks down the missing CJ-4.
