| 説明 | It looks like a toy but it's a real car, an American Bantam. I encountered it the other day at a car show I stumbled across in a nearby town.Apparently the original company, American Austin, made modified Austins in the US under licence from BMC. Beginning in 1929. Not a really terrific year to start a business and it failed a few years later. It was resuscitated and renamed American Bantam, resuming production in 1937. This car was manufactured in 1941, one of only 140 of this model made. 1941 was also the company's last year of passenger car production.Two claims to fame:-Walt Disney based Donald Duck's car on the Bantam-American Bantam produced the first Jeep, in 1940. Several thousand were made, most of them going to the British Army, which was already at war. After Pearl Harbor, when the US entered the war - ie WWII - the US Government took the Jeep designs and gave them to Willys and the Ford Motor Company - Bantam's manufacturing capacity was well short of the US Army's requirements. After the war, five years of patent battles resulted in the Jeep brand name going to Willys. Chrysler then acquired Willys, along with the Jeep name and designs. |
