1941 Photo of Landing Jeep off Barge Test SOLD

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

I can't tell for sure, but that might be a Ford GP. The hood doesn't look very tall to me. The date makes it probable.

"This is an original press photo. New River, N.C. -- Jeep splashes shoreward from a marine landing barge during maneuvers of the Marines Amphibious Force. Sturdy little car tows a light field piece.Photo measures 8.75 x 7.25inches. Photo is dated 11-25-1941."
