Fiat, the famous Italian car manufacturer was founded in 1899, by a group of investors including Giovanni Agnelli. The new company was known as Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino and Agnelli was its first managing director. Agnelli was to be associated with Fiat until his death in 1945. Indeed he was very much the inspiration behind it, having seen the potential of the motor car a year before the founding of Fiat following a meeting with Count Emanuele Bricherasio di Cacherano who was seeking investors in the new motor car industry.

Fiat became a public company on the Milan stock exchange and Agnelli strengthened his hold on the company by rapidly increasing his shareholding. The business continued to grow apace and by the end of the First World War in 1918 it was the biggest company in Italy. Two years later Agnelli became chairman of the company.

The Jeep brand has a lofty and historic heritage, one that was came to life during the darkest hours of World War II. At that time, the US military needed a vehicle which could move its way through the French countryside, German bogs and far eastern paddy fields, thus the Jeep was born.
