there are a number of legends, some say that the 7 slots are for:
7 wonders of the world
because a Jeep vehicle was the first to defend the 7 continents,
7 seas
7 summits,
lucky number 7
7th heaven
7 pillars of wisdom,
the colors of the rainbow
or that there are 7 directions: up, down, right, left, forward, back and center.

I don't know about that, but I've noticed in WWII photos that Jeeps often have several bars cut off the grille. Maybe to increase airflow?
