Happy 70th Birthday to....
« on: 28-09-2010, 03:09:38 »
The Jeep!

    Yes, that's right. On this day (September 22nd), 70 years ago, the first "jeep" was rolled off the Bantam production lines in 1940. Really and interesting history of such a magnificent vehicle.

This hit me today when I was out looking at a new CJ-2A which I hope to acquire in the near future, which is the first civilian jeep modded directly after the Willy MB and Ford GPW jeeps of WW2.

The first jeep:
Bantam Prototype (Pilot):

------------------

------------------

------------------
Which was later followed by the BRC-40 and 60, and led to the involvment of Ford and Willys Overland into the production of their very own models, the Willys MA and the Ford GP. Which, because of their production abilities went on to become responsible for the max production of their latest and most efficient models, the Willys MB and Ford GPW as you commonly know them....

So, here is a cake in dedication to the 70th Birthday of the jeep!
