The Jeep is probably one of the most rugged and manly vehicles in the
market today. It has been the vehicle of choice for adventure-seekers
and knights-in-camouflage for more than fifty years. Fans of the vehicle
have formed clubs across the world to share their common bond over this
amazing vehicle.
The first Jeep was developed and manufactured
out of necessity - the US Army needed a vehicle that was fast,
light-weight and could function in almost any terrain required ASAP
since their butts were getting whooped by the Axis powers.
The Army's call to action
They
sent out their requirements to automobile manufacturers and gave them
forty-nine days or seven weeks to come up with a working prototype. The
original Jeep requirements included the following specifications:
Vehicle weight: approximately 1,300 pounds
Four-wheel drive
Engine (power): 85 pound-feet of torque
Wheelbase: Not more than 80 inches
Tread: Not more than 47 inches
Ground Clearance: Minimum ground clearance of 6.25 inches
Payload: 600 pounds
Cooling System: Good enough to allow a sustained low speed without overheating the engine
Designing
any vehicle can take weeks, months - even years of careful planning.
Especially during wartime when manpower was in short supply, it isn't
all that surprising that only two vehicle manufacturers responded to an
invitation that was sent out to more than a hundred companies around the
country.
The three manufacturers who responded to the Army's
invitation were the American Bantam Car Company and Willys-Overland.
Willys-Overland requested more time to complete their vehicle (a request
that was denied) while the Bantam Car Company had to accept the help of
Detroit engineer, Karl Probst who was enlisted by the National Defense
Advisory committee and accepted the job without pay. He was able to come
up with the basic blueprint in two days and the Bantam prototype was
presented to the US Army on July 22.
