About AM General

AM General’s beginning can be traced back to the Standard Wheel Company of Terre Haute, Indiana, and when it expanded in 1903 to include the Overland Automotive Division. John North Willys purchased the Overland company and renamed it Willys-Overland Motors. This company was most famous for producing the Willys Jeep, the widely-used utility truck that served the U.S. armed forces and other allies throughout the war. In 1953, Willys-Overland was purchased by Kaiser Motors, which changed the company’s name to Kaiser-Willys Motor Company, and later in 1963 to Kaiser-Jeep Corporation. In 1970, American Motors Corporation purchased Kasier-Jeep, and designated it as its military vehicle producer, renaming it to AM General. In 1983, after AMC ended its operations as an independent automotive producer, the LTV Corporation purchased AM General and made it a subsidiary. In 1992, LTV sold off AM General to the Renco Group, which converted AM General into a limited liability company. On August 20, 2004, Renco Group announced that it would be forming a joint venture with the MacAndrews & Forbes company, giving the latter 70% ownership of AM General.
