12 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday February 22, 2006 TEST US DURING WINTER'S EXTREMES - NOW THROUGH MARCH 4TM ONLY! Earning a place in auto history Continued from page 11 In 1965, American Motors (AMC) supplied a V8 that was standard on the Super Wagoneer and optional on regu lar Wagoneers. By mid-1970 a power sunroof option had appeared. The same year, AMC bought Kaiser Jeep for $70 mil lion and relabelled it Jeep Corporation. AMC then quickened the pace of progress, focusing on new luxury fea tures, smoother, quieter V8 engines, more comfort and less noise. New standards were set again in 1978 when the Wagoneer Limited arrived, the plushest 4-wheel-drive yet, with just about every imaginable option now part of its standard equip ment, including leather seats -- the first time such fittings were offered on a domestically produced 4-wheel-drive vehicle. By 1984 the Wagoneer Limited had morphed into the Grand Wagoneer, which carried Jeep's flag in the luxury 4-wheel-drive field until, after 29 years, it was retired from production when the all-new Grand Cherokee debuted in 1992 (as a '93 model). No other nameplate has gone through three different corporate own ers and four company name changes, yet kept on going through good times and bad ... or earned such an impor tant place in the pantheon of auto his tory while doing it.
