Ep4012_BardsFM: The American Brand - The Jeep

The Jeep was originally developed in 1940 by American Bantam company. The US Army sought a lightweight, four-wheel drive reconnaissance vehicle; within 18 hours of the announcement, American Bantam developed the first prototype. Due to limited production capacity, the US Army brought in Willys-Overland and Ford Motor Company to team with American Bantam. By the end of the war over 637,000 Jeeps were built. After the war, Willys-Overland launched the CJ (Civilian Jeep) and the Jeep culture was born. Jeep is not just brand, it is a culture, that thrives globally. It embodies the values of adventure, resilience, independence and community. It is a true American Brand.

Amen 🙏 🍞🍷🕊 Awesome show today! Jeep’s legacy was really interesting. Just got a Ford Bronco..didn’t hit a deer but a tree came down during a ice storm, so far so good with off road. The American Brand series is one of my favorites. This one hit home for me. Thanks and God bless.

I’ve always loved Ford. The Escort, and in old age the Ford Fusion - hardly any electronics on mine, parts cheap to find, solid as a rock. I use it for hauling wood, manure, shopping, I can always find it in the car park it’s the one covered in mud! Someone said the other day, I see you’ve customized it again - every dent and scratch is a memory, most of them start with, I can’t believe I didn’t see that! It’s old, and fun, growing window moss but I love it to bits. Great show!
