Magazine Research Archives

Jeeps filled magazines in various ways. Some magazines reported on brand new ‘Blitz Buggy’ and other important develops about the jeep during WWII. Others reported on the changing models during its civilian life. Still others showcased how jeeps were used and the modifications done to them.

While the concept of the Super Drake was tested, I don’t believe it ever achieved production (at least I couldn’t find anything about it).

“An Original 1956 ONE-Page pictorial that was removed from a vintage Magazine. Perfect size to mat and frame, it measures 6½ x 9¼ inches.

Article Excerpt: “With eight wheels, all of them powered, the Army’s latest amphibious vehicle, the Drake, can outride the heaviest surf.”

Shown on bottom of page is the first 2 1/2-ton Duck, the 4-ton Superduck and the Drake.”

What’s strange about this 1946 article is that it doesn’t show an ‘Army Jeep’. It shows an early CJ-2A.  Anyone know where this article appeared?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

This June 1943 Automotive Digest has several jeeps ads.

“This is a nice original example of AUTOMOTIVE DIGEST magazine from mid 1943. In most ways it is like any other example of AUTOMOTIVE DIGEST, but this issue contains several nice ads from various manufacturers featuring a variety of World War II jeeps like the Ford GP, Ford GPW and / or Willys MB slat-grills, the standardized Ford / Willys jeep and the GPA or amphibious jeep.”
