WWII Jeep Returns from Europe, Lands in MN

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Bill shared this article about a WWII jeep found in France that was brought back to Luverne, Minnesota. The jeep has become part of a documentary about kids of a paratrooper who were invited to France to ride in the jeep and follow the trail of their father’s experience after landing in Europe on June 6, 1944. The jeep now resides and can be seen at Luverne’s National Guard  Armory.

An owner of a collection of vintage jeeps in Chadron, Nebraska, posted to Facebook noting that if anyone near Chadron wanted to see his collection before he sells out, well they should get ahold of him. He expects most jeeps to leave the state. Maybe he will also consider some offers? He doesn’t mention when he plans to sell.

Bill shared this video interview of a former CIA agent who claims that when he was working for the CIA in Vietnam, there were at least three colors of jeeps. Not sure if buy “jeep” he is referring to M-38A1s, M-151s, or something else. The CIA used emerald green jeeps, while the Army had Olive Drab jeeps and Agency for International Development (AID) gray jeeps. You can listen to his description at the 9:40 mark of the video.

1959 XM443E1 TPCC Brochure

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features, XM443E1-TPCC • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The Tactical Personnel-Cargo Carrier (TPCC), also known dryly as the XM443E1, isn’t a vehicle I’ve discussed at all, mostly because I really didn’t know much about it. I figured it was just another prototype. However, given how far along in the production process this design lasted, I figured it was worth a close look.  I recently bought the four-page brochure below off of ebay, along with a press release for the TPCC, which sheds some additional information on this vehicle.

In fact, the TPCC was far enough along in development that it was featured at the 1959 Chicago Auto Show (February 1959 Jeep News):

1959-02-willys-news-tpcc-XM443E1

From the February 1959 Jeep News — 1959 Chicago Auto Show where the jeeps were all featured in white.

and later in the year at the Association of U.S. Army’s Convention.

1959-09-10-jeep-news7-tpcc-excerpt

Willys Motors even created this 4-page brochure, which was likely published in 1959 (it lacks a date). So, why didn’t Willys do more with this vehicle? According to this post, numerous maintenance issues uncovered by the military doomed the vehicle.
