The Jeep brand was officially founded in 1941 and started out building vehicles specifically equipped for the military. Jeeps were the first mass-produced four door car, thus beginning the age of SUVs.
When was the first Jeep made?
THE FIRST JEEP® BRAND 4x4
Willys-Overland delivered the prototype "Quad" (named for the 4x4 system it featured), to the U.S. Army on Armistice Day (Veteran's Day), November of 1940. The design was completed in a remarkable 75 days. Only two prototypes were made.
What does 1941 mean on a Jeep?
Equally eye-catching is the “1941” decal on the hood. The year in question is a nod to the birth year of the original military Jeep from Willys, from which the company traces its origin. Small black decals running from the door to the rear section add a few more hat tips to the birth of the first Willys Jeep.
