WI: Ford Keeps Producing Jeeps

Makes sense. Planes saw massive and rampant increases in technology and capability so once the cold war started up they were constantly becoming obsolete and being replaced. Logistical vehicles didn't advance nearly as fast and a truck built in 1945 could still provide perfectly fine service for multiple decades or they wore out.

When did the US military finally retire Sherman tanks?

Out of the Guard? Early 60s there were still some hanging on in training commands.
