Another trivia point is that the US military took delivery of the first production Jeeps on November 30, 1941, one week and a day prior to the Pearl Harbor attack.

Even though the “Jeep” was designed by Bantam, they only manufactured about 4 thousand of the vehicles. Willys Overland and Ford Motor company produced hundreds of thousands of them. Bantam did produce the T-3 trailer for Jeeps.
