1945 Photo of Fording Water Test on eBay
Here’s an interesting photo showing an early water fording test from the Baltimore Sun archives.
“JEEP GETS WATER TEST: LT JOHN CULLAR, OF OAKLAND, CALIF, TESTS A JEEP FOR ITS AMPHIBIOUS POSSIBILITIES EXPOSED PARTS SUCH AS THE MANIFOLD, THE CARBURATOR, INTAKE AND OIL BREATHER PIPE ARE SEALED AND EXTENDED UPWARD; THUS PREVENTING THE DANGEROUS POSSIBILITY OF SALT WATER SEEPING.

1942 Floating Jeep Photo on eBay
I *think* the jeep in this photo from the Baltimore Sun archives is tied/attached to a raft and is churning its way across the water while towing another raft. Or am I incorrect?
“Los Angeles, Calif. The amphibian jeep is here shown pulling an anti aircraft gun.”

Target Practice Jeep at Page Field in Fort Myers
Notice the track and the guide below the front of the jeep’s bumper. This photo came from Mission4Today.com
“Several students at Page Field in Fort Myers (ca 1945) with a jeep, the mechanical mule of the army that carried a target around on a circular cement track. The jeep itself was protected by a large embankment in the background. The students are over the right side of the embankment and shoot at a target.”

(09/11/2013) Brian sent this photo of the door after it was sand blasted.
(09/11/2013) Bruce forwarded this photo of the surrey without the top.
(09/10/2013) Brian’s photos of a 1961 DJ-3A Surrey:
Brian writes, “It’s not the same Jeep. My top has never had an i.d. tag on it which i always thought was odd. When i bought the top, the Jeep was only in Florida for a year or two at the time. Before that it was in Virginia where it had spent most of it’s life, the same State that the top was built in. The story was something like: a lady bought the Surrey new in ’61 and then (i think) it was sold to a serviceman around the time of Vietnam. He put the Jeep in storage and it sat there for well over 30 years, hence why it was in such good shape. I can’t remember who had the top put on it.
I found two more pics that show a bit of the pink paint, in the rear cargo area some is showing on the ribs and the front floor shot shows a line of pink around the body seam. I had underhood pics that showed alot of pink paint that the cheaper paint didn’t adhere too well to but i can’t find them.“
