I've noticed with our 1944 willy Jeep the bonnet has that overhang lip for your fingers to lift the hood and when we went to open a GPWs we tried about 3 times before we noticed it was different shorter and harder to open the hood haha it was one of them confused moment's what's going on hahaha!
I was going to comment on that too ! Carl Probst and Bantam Car Co actually INVENTED the jeep but were a smaller company than Willys . Willys refined it and their "Go Devil" won everybody over because it was peppier than both the Bantam and the Ford tractor engine . I still can't believe they didn't even mention Bantam in this video .
Got the willy stamped grill with the small buldge at the bottom for the support bracket to the tubed Front frame GPW also had 3 holes in the front bumper to willy 1 centred good way to spot a willys or GPW straight off
Bantam? Hello? Ever heard of the American Bantam Car Company? They designed the initial prototype. The BRC....Karl Probst. Do you people do any research at all? OMG.
the real reason of the popular cartoon character Jeep the GIs knicknamed it named after at the time from Popeye! It's even on willy's original catalogue I have! Being a GP (General Purpose) it was given the knickname "Jeep" that's the official statement in my willy catalogue anyway and what I've always went by as it's in this
Steve is such a legend.

It was Bantam which originally designed the Jeep. Willys and Ford came later... Guys please don't distort history...
