Fact is Ford made the first serialized Jeep.Plus, Ford actually made an actual Jeep alongside Willys for the US Army back in 1942. In that sense, the Bronco bears more of the original Jeep bloodline than Chysler's does!
I thought that as well. Actually, Ford called it GP, not for General Purpose, but Government Pigmy. G, signified Government contract and The “P” was for Pigmy because of its 80” wheelbase. jeep came from undocumented soldier undocumented peice of equipment. Willys had to apply for a Patten to change jeep to Jeep. Ford built the very first serialized Jeep, and it’s at the veterans memorial in Huntsville Alabama.Remember that Jeep came from “GP” or general purpose vehicle which is now known as an SUV. My boss call’s my Sport a Jeep! No big deal, it’s better than calling it a Prius.
