Default Birthplace of the Jeep
Hello,
I'm from Butler,Pennsylvania USA
"The birthplace of the Jeep" The Jeep was created here at the Bantam factory by Karl Probst. The factory also produced the legendary bantam trailer for both military and civilian use. Here are some photo's. One of the Bantam factory. The red brick building is where the jeep was created. The trailer is a very early bantam civilian model in which they used left over military parts to complete. The Jeep is my ride. A 1979 cj7.

I'd say our stateside brothers are winning on the "roadworthy legislations" race too.
