"Mitsubishi-Jeep" - yes, 2 brands on one car

MITSUBISHI and JEEP - two very well-known companies that used to make iconic war machines for opposing sides during the Second World War - became good business partners back in the 1950s and for quite a while after that. While Mitsubishi was synonymous (to enthusiasts, at least) with its devastating 'Zero' fighter aircrafts during WW2, Jeep was supplying the Americans and the Allied Forces with the iconic Willys military Jeep (http://dictionary.reference.com/help/faq/language/e42.html). In 1950, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation was dismantled by the Allied Forces into three separate companies. In 1951, one of them started to import and assemble an inexpensive American sedan built by Kaiser Motors. In the same year, another company also concluded a similar contract with Willys-Overland Motors (which was taken over by Kaiser Motors in 1953) for the assembly of Jeeps. Licensed Mitsubishi Jeeps were produced until 1998 - when tighter emissions and safety standards finally made the Jeep obsolete - 30 years after Willys themselves had replaced the model. This red one in this video (heavily chopped by its previous owner) is one of the many that came out of the relationship. *My apologies for the abrupt end of the video. I accidentally pressed the power button. Grrr...
