Re: RWD vs AWD

new2ford, here is a link to Land Rover: click here for history of the Range Rover

Note the first mention is of a 2wd Land Rover estate car (station wagon) - bear in mind that station wagons in the 50s basically were all conversion jobs, there were very few factory produced models. In the US at this stage Woodies were actually made from wood!

There was a 2wd wagon version of the Jeep produced from 1946: Willys Jeep Station Wagon, 1946-65
and also the Wagoneer in 1963 which was the first 4wd wagon with independent front suspension. This was produced until about 1990.
This page is worth a look, some Jeep ideas that never made it including a Jeep-based 4x4 sportscar from 1970: Designers at work

And a pic of the Road Rover:
