That is true. I first saw Chevrolet Blazers on highway construction
projects in the mid-1970s, and that was one of the first SUV-like
vehicles, a light truck closed vehicle with 4-wheel drive.

The earliest one I know of is the Willys Overland wagon. Came out in 1946.

Don't know when they were first built, but the US Military used Dodge Power
Wagons for a number of purposes, particularly ambulances, toward the end of
WWII. We had several 1943 models used as ambulances & general purpose
vehicles at AFP 3 that were used until the mid 70's. The USAF had a large
inventory of "Dodge Power Wagons" into the early 80's.
