On this episode, Chris is joined by Paul Bruno, Jeep historian and author of The Original Jeeps. They chat about the origins of the Jeep and how three automakers vied for a government contract that helped win a war and established an icon.
The Original Jeeps tells the intriguing story of the American Bantam Car Company, Willys-Overland Motors, Inc., and the Ford Motor Company, who all dared to meet the challenge to build pilot models, and eventually production models, of this vehicle. Their journey throughout 1940 to January 1942 comprises a story from which legends come. Overcoming incredible challenges and long odds, these firms built the original ¼-ton truck 4x4 “lights”, later known as the iconic Jeep.
