I remember back in high school hearing about buying Army surplus jeeps still in their crates. The story was that you spent most of the assembly time cleaning off shitloads of grease. Never met anyone who actually did it, if it was even possible.

Then there was the old MASH episode where Radar was mailing a jeep home piece by piece…

That was before they turned the character of Radar O’Reilly into a man-child.

Hotchkiss continued to make their carbon-copy Jeep (most of the components interchangeable) for the French military into 1966. The last of them were withdrawn in 2000.
