These looks mostly like Ford GPs, but the base of the windshield looks a little low.

Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

Dave, I realize this is an old post. All of the recent prototype posts and stories has got me checking out the prototype section. I think this is actually the Ford “Pygmy depicted ( thus the low windshield). The post card appears to be an illustration, rather than a photo and this is the same jeep placed numerous times in it (note the angle of the tires). Good work, especially before photo shop was around. I can’t clearly make out the date of the postmark, maybe 1943 or 1946? This is also the first time I have heard the term “Phantom Automobiles”. I also like the free on the postage, I assume this was for all servicemen. Thanks for keeping post sections organized.
Never occurred to me that they might all by illustrated off the pygmy. Good point!
