In 1940 amist World War I, the American government needed something to output everyone else. They needed the Bantam. What's a Bantam? Well it was the first ever Jeep, not carrying the same name but all jeeps came from the Bantam design. The military needed a simple, quick, light weight reconosence vehicle. Two men showed up to the challenge, one prevailed in a 49 day deadline. Karl Probst, a Detroit engineer, was able to build the designs with no motivation at all, infact he wasnt even paid for his design. But he gave all of us Jeep lovers the thing we love the most. So for that we should thank him.
