Understandably classic tale of how the Jeep came to be, narrated, well, by the jeep itself. You'll find many great facts not known, like how the Jeep got it's name in the first place, what kind of celebrities got to ride in a jeep, and the many wild tests it had to go through before it was approved by his friend, the soldier. An important film, this is a MUST SEE on this site!
