Around the world in an amphibious Jeep... 1950s style...

The thread here about 7 Jeeps you didn't know existed sent me off and Googling for more information on the Ford’s GPA Amphibious Jeep (also called a Seep)...

As a person who loves Jeeps, boats, adventure, history, old military stuff.. and vehicles that float! I thought the Seep was very cool. Even if the 7 Jeeps article said it was a failure. My searches led me to this Hemmings article about a little Seep named "Half Safe" that I thought some of you might find interesting....

Here's a thread I had started about this a couple of years back:

If you haven't read his book, Half Safe, you really should. Maybe not a Pulizter Prize winning novel but a good read none the less. :yup:
