I have a 1972 Jeep CJ5 (mfd Sep 1971) that was my grandfather's, which he bought from the original owner in 1977. I still have the transfer docs from 1977, an odometer statement from 1984, a title from 1993 when my dad had a new one issued, and a lot more. All of these historical docs list the Make as "Universal" and the Body Style as "JP", but why wouldn't the Make of the Jeep have been originally listed as "AMC" or "Jeep"? I thought only the 1953 CJ3b through the 1968 CJ5 were coined "Jeep Universal" or "Universal Jeep".
Any Jeep CJ historians out there that can help me understand why my 1972 would be listed as a Universal?
Thank you!
