I was watching freiburger rant on where the word jeep came from.
I was looking for korean war vehicles, more the road going kind, ..but it seems government pygmy, built by ford is the 1950 of choice..
Government Pygmy=GP.= jeep.
based on the original submission to the U.S. Army by the builders.

interesting.. the answer was indeed right there on the net.
if you ever hear "willys jeep"..
correct them by saying,
jeep came first.
willy is just a suffix.
jeep willys.
I guess the vehicle I was looking for is called an m38.. it saw actual korea service. That was made by willys, looked like a jeep...and that was not its name.
this one is pretty cool.
I was looking for 1950.
why there is ww2 stuff on front...who knows.
