In 1935 this company was reorganized under the name American Bantam. Production resumed in 1937 and continued through 1941, including the first prototype of what later became the Jeep. What was the original name?
The name I was looking for was the name of the original company not of the jeep protoype.


American Austin Car Company

Their 1932 Bantam is what some of today's altereds are based upon.
