Ø My typical response is that Jeep is THE original, but went by the name Willy back in the day.

I’ll happily stand corrected, but my understanding is that the vehicle produced by Willys Motors was designated by the army as a “General Purpose” vehicle. As such, the various models used by the army were given “GP” designations -- which then got acronymed to “JEEP”.
