Last updated 2 months ago

The Ford GPA, often referred to as the 'Seep' by military personnel, is a amphibious military vehicle developed during World War II. Built by Ford Motor Company, it was based on the iconic Willys Jeep but featured enhanced amphibious capabilities, making it a versatile asset for wartime operations. Manufactured between 1943 and 1945, the Ford GPA combined rugged off-road performance with the ability to traverse water, setting it apart from standard land vehicles of its time. Its core features included a lightweight aluminium body, a four-cylinder engine, and a distinctive hull design that allowed for seamless transition between land and water. As a specialised military vehicle, the Ford GPA remains a notable example of wartime innovation and engineering ingenuity.
