Josh was in downtown Boise on Saturday morning with his son watching the holiday parade when two flatfenders appeared. He said they were both named “sidewinder” and both had 4 wheel steer with dual steering wheels. He said they were going a decent speed doing donuts or driving at an angle.
He snapped the picture below and then found a video of them. The jeeps show up at the 17 sec mark and then really show at the 44 sec mark. I’ll see if I can dig up some more info on these in the future.
The August 1941 issue of The Ford Dealer News includes this image of a Ford Pygmy. There are a variety of articles and other photos also.
I like the box too.

John took the time to scan the jeep related pictures from Bill Maudlin’s book “Up Front”. I’ve posted a couple below. You can see all of them on John’s Google Page. In 2010, the US Postal Service honored Bill with his own stamp.
You can find the book “Up Front” on Amazon (both in new and used versions and at Alibris.
