Talk:American Austin Car Company

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

American Austin Car Company and American Bantam is essentially the same company and both articles are very short. Perhaps the articles should be merged ? Bukvoed 12:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WWII Jeep

Please check the facts in regards to the design of the WWII Jeep. The Jeep design was a Bantam design, however they did not have the manufacturing capability to produce the number of Jeeps that the government wanted. While the design was used, the contract was issued to both Ford and Willys and Bantam went on to produce Jeep trailers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.161.252.139 (talk • contribs).

I admit I'm not a specialist, but I think it would be wrong to say that Willys MB was the same design as Bantam's BRC 40 (although its roots were in Bantam's design). But you are right, the section needed some work. Hope it's better now. Bukvoed 07:38, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
