There's an article about Power Wagons I found on the web today. For a taste (and a description of us, I guess), check out this paragraph, especially the last sentence...
"While Willys was taking the Jeep to the people, Dodge, a company that has a legitimate claim to off-road heritage, took its civilianized version of the M-37 in a different direction. It considered the model it first dubbed the WDX unsuitable for personal use for folks like you and me, so instead the company's marketing mavens decided to sell it as a commercial vehicle. And it was as a commercial vehicle that the Dodge Power Wagon, as it quickly came to be known, developed its special cachet. Produced between 1946 and 1968, the Power Wagon developed a cult following that is small in relative numbers but absolutely fanatic in its devotion to the tough, cantankerous oddball of a vehicle that is so ugly it's beautiful."
