Pada awal tahun 1941, Willys-Overland membuat pertunjukan keupayaan kenderaan luar jalan dengan memandunya menaiki tangga Capitol Amerika Syarikat, dipandu oleh pemandu uji Willys, "Red" Haussman, yang baru mendengar tentera di Kota Holabird memanggilnya "jeep." Apabila ditanya oleh penulis kolum Katherine Hillyer bagi Washington Daily News (atau oleh penonton, menurut kisah lain) apa namanya, Irving menjawap, "Ia adalah jip."
Rencana Katherine Hillyer diterbitkan seluruh negara pada 20 Februari 1941, dan termasuk gambar kenderaan dengan judul:
LAWMAKERS TAKE A RIDE- With Senator Meade, of New York, at the wheel, and Representative Thomas, of New Jersey, sitting beside him, one of the Army's new scout cars, known as "jeeps" or "quads", climbs up the Capitol steps in a demonstration yesterday. Soldiers in the rear seat for gunners were unperturbed.
