Jeeps Pulling Airstream Trailers

Thanks to Blaine for spotting some of these jeep-pulling-airstream trailer images. That led me to search for some more. I think my favorite might just be the post from Kaiser Willys, as a wagon owner named Richard Carr pulled his airstream down to Baja, Mexico, for a six month vacation in 2010 and was still there as of 2015. I guess he found his spot in the world!

1942 200-Mile Jeep Trip to Dakar

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

Joseph Morton’s description of his jeep trip from Bathhurst, Gambia, to Dakar, French West Africa, was published in the Evening Star, December 26, 1942. Fun fact: I got to know a Gambian ambassador to the US and was invited to Gambia to help work on a school’s computer system back in 2002, but other priorities kept me from going.

Bathhurst is now known as Banjul, Gambia’s capital city. French West Africa is now Senegal. This map *might* be close to the route taken:

“1946 Willy’s CJ2c 4×4, This is a classic vintage jeep of Willy’s fame with its 4-134 “Go Devil” flathead engine. This engine was completely overhauled several years ago but has very seldom put on the road. Still starts and idles fine, but difficult acceleration, probably due to sitting too long and moisture accumulating in tank. Has five new correct military tires with less than 20 miles on them. Body is in great shape for a 72 year old vehicle. I have done many things to it over the 30 years I have owned it in order to maintain and give it many parts it didn’t have when I got it.

Has a best top on it which is easily taken down in 5 minutes because I think it looks so much cooler without the top. Transmission still fine as well as the four wheel drive and the high and low gears. Been a long time since I have driven on the roads but start it weekly to maintain it. There will be brake work to do. I had all new brakes, master cylinder and lines put in several years ago, but think all fluid has leaked out. Easy work for the right person. This would be an excellent jeep for someone who desires a full restoration or just to get it on the road again. I have really loved this CJ but it is time for someone else to enjoy. These are Hard to find. some problems but still worth a look.”

1939 Boy’s Life Article Using the Term “Jeep”

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

A May 1939 article shown below from Boy’s Life adds to the evidence that the use of the term Jeep existed prior to the introduction of the Bantam BRC in September of 1940.

By November 1940, the term “jeep” was being applied to the Bantam jeep (and/or the Willys Quad, delivered in mid-November), according to court records, months before the delivery of the Ford “GP” model in March of 1941 ((the Ford Pygmy was delivered to Holabird near the end of November of 1940).

To me this opens up a question. Was the P=80″ wheel base a chance coincidence? Or was Ford cognizant that the new 4×4 vehicles were being called jeeps, so they purposefully took advantage of that to use the “P” to spell the onomatopoeia-initialism “gp” or “geepee” or “geep” as part of the delivery contract? I suppose Ford had a designation that O=70″ wheel base and Q=90″? If so, I’ve not personally seen those designations documented.

Now, modern articles call the Pygmy the “Pygmy GP-1” (or similar), giving it credit for being the first Ford GP. But, I have yet to see any documentation that Ford or anyone else was calling the Pygmy a “GP”.

In fact, two articles from 1940 indicate the new Ford recon car is called only a Pygmy and that more pygmies will be delivered in the future. See the middle and right column articles on this page (http://www.memorialmuseum.org/displaysmilitary-jeeps/item/ford-pygmy) (note that the 1969 article on the left hand side of the page does designate the vehicle GP-1, but again, that’s a much later article).

My guess is that the GP designation was more strategic than the innocent explanation of G=”Government” and P=80″ suggests. I’d welcome evidence showing the Pygmy was labeled a FORD GP from any kind of article or document from the late 1940s. (maybe this issue has been hashed out previously and I’m late to the party???)

In the meantime, here’s the Boy’s Life article (you can read it online).
