As I've previously pointed out, it seems unlikely that the Asia Motors Jeeps were nicknamed "Keohwa", since Keohwa was the name of an entirely different manufacturer. /vehicle_35171-Asia-Motors-KM-410--Keohwa-.html Asia Motors became part of Kia, while Keohwa was bought by SsangYong. http://www.smotor.com/en/overview/main.jsp -- Last edit: 2010-09-25 23:27:26 |

P.S. I've found a Jeep enthusiast page suggesting that this is the Kia KM410 (not Asia Motors and not Keohwa). http://www.angelfire.com/nb2/jeeppickups/Kia.html Keohwa made Jeeps called the M-5 and M-7. http://www.angelfire.com/nb2/jeeppickups/keohwa.html http://www.angelfire.com/nb2/jeeppickups/Keowha4.jpg It seems that they had radiator grilles with vertical slots, but there is one photo of a long wheelbase version, the M-7GA3, with horizontal slots. However, none of the South Korean army Jeeps we have appears to be long wheelbase. |

As the risk of being a bore, could we delete the "Keohwa" nickname from all Asia Motors KM410s, since it was a different company that made different Jeeps? |

Done. |

@ Gag Halfrunt: According to Wikipedia, Kia purchased Asia Motors in 1976, but the Asia make was used until 1999. The KM410 was apparently made from 1973 until 1983 (fr), so it's unlikely to have been sold as a Kia model. About the Keohwa 6-slot horizontal grille, it appears that the "jeep style" vertical grille was prohibited on Keohwa's products outside Korea (fr), hence this "export" grille. |
