RealRides of WNY - 1971 AMG M151

DEPEW, N.Y.

Whatever you do, don't call it a Jeep! This military light-utility vehicle is officially a 1971 AMG M151, produced by the same company — AM General — that built the HMMWV (or Humvee as it's popularly known). These jeep-like vehicles (lower case j, please!) were pretty much phased out for military use in the late 1980s, being replaced by the HMMWV.

The M151, developed by Ford, was also built under contract by them as well as by Kaiser Motors.

We saw this one at this year's Polish Falcons Super Cruise back in July.
