Who is the Original jeep manufacturer?

Bantam had the original design but was too small a company and their engine did not have the required torque so they lost the contract. Willys-Overland was awarded the contract to build the Jeep but Ford was also awarded a contract to build the Jeep. Willys built the model MB and Ford built the model GPW. Together Willys and Ford built 640,000 Jeeps during WW2.


Who invented jeep?

The Jeep was invented in 1941 for the U.S. Military by The American Bantam car company. The final production was awarded to Willys as the military felt Bantam was too small a company to produce the necessary numbers needed. Ford also built the Jeep for the military using the Willys plans. Bantam, which was the inventor, produced only trailers for the Army and never made the Jeep. Willys called their Jeep the Model MB and Ford called theirs the Model GPW. Jeep was never a name the military used. It was only a nickname in the beginning.
