1942 & 1945 Jeep original vintage magazine review. 8 Pages.
DESCRIPTION:
THE JEEP
LIFE presents the inspiring and humorous life story of the Army’s new and incredible little car. - 6 PAGES.
This is the life story of a car. Although it reads like fiction, it is a true story. Sometimes it is inspiring, sometimes heroic, sometimes humorous. But it has a sad ending. It is the story of a wonderful personality whose dynamic arrival in the military world was more exciting than the arrival of Hedy Lamarr in Hollywood. It is the story of the bumptious, arrogant, vibrant, incredible little Army jeep.
Old friends of the jeep’s family like to say they remember when she was nothing more than a gleam in her mother's headlight eyes. Her mother was, of course, the Army's ponderous and sturdy command car. Her father was the light and frail motorcycle with sidecar. The purpose of their marrying and mating
was to produce a light but sturdy little car suitable for reconnaissance and also for message carrying. In addition, when equipped with mounted machine guns or lugging a light antitank gun, the baby was to do actual combat duty.
Baby took a long time developing. Some of her older brothers and sisters are shown on the following page. But today she is grown up. She has appeared on all of the battlefields of the world.General George Catlett Marshall has called her the country's main contribution to modern warfare. American soldiers love her with a deep and paternal affection, bestowing on her such names as peep, iron pony, beep, blitz buggy, jitterbug, beetlebug, leaping Lena and panzer killer.
