Re: short question
The quick answer is "yes", but it is kind of a gray area because there
were multiple companies working on 'jeep' variations from Bantam's
design original design from 1939-1940, *****'s-Overland being one of
those companies. If I remember correctly from idle reading, the need for
the 'jeep' was made 'public' in '39 and prototypes were built in '40 and
production models in '41. None of these were called 'jeeps' tho.
Short questions can sometimes bring on REALLY LONG answers, and there
are some guys on here who know the Jeep Era much better than me.
