It was the first of the pilot vehicles to feature a flat grill with headlamps positioned behind it for protection, an intermediate bow for the canvas top, its fuel tank mounted inside the body under the driver's seat, and a two‐piece opening/folding windshield with a round tubing frame.

Another innovation was headlamps positioned on hinged brackets which allowed them to be pivoted to illuminate the engine compartment at night.

All of these design features were ultimately incorporated into the standard World War II jeep, the Willys MB.

It was acquired at auction by a private collector in 1982,[2] and is now in the collection of The U.S. Veterans Memorial Museum in Huntsville, Alabama where it is preserved in virtually original un-restored condition.

The oldest (and only) known surviving Bantam BRC‐60, serial number 1007, belongs to the Smithsonian Institution and is currently displayed at the Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
