The oldest Jeep is a Ford

[Barry-ct]

The Bantam prototype was called a "BRC". A friend of mine has a Ford GP and that was one tough resto. His was one from the first contract the army issued to Ford. The is an very early Bantam BRC in New Jersey. It's owned by people who run a Jeep parts and restoration company in one of the resort towns on the coast. Can't remember their name. I was big into WWII vehicles at one time and bought parts from them for my 45 Willys MB.
