The road we were on has water deep enough to bury 35" tires.

The cab looked familiar but the bed was longer than other Forward Control Jeeps I had previously seen.
4-wheel drive makes this useful off-road.
The Willys Jeep was a much-loved all-rounder that spawned a whole new class of vehicle. In 1940, three companies submitted “light reconnaissance vehicle” prototypes to the US Government for testing, Bantam, Willys and Ford. Six months later the Willys MB was selected for production. The Jeep, as it affectionately became known, was so successful that Ford were eventually contracted to mass produce the Willys design, termed the Ford GPW.
Perhaps the iconic vehicle of World War Two, the Jeep continued in service through the Korean War and beyond.
This 1942-built 2200 cc Willys Jeep MB, wearing USA serial No. 20135864, was registered in the UK as SSU 819 in 1989 and is on display in Haynes Motor Museum.

Late 30s American Bantam roadster. Tracing back to the American Austin, and to the ubiquitous Austin 7, the biggest selling car in Britain in the early 30s,
Austin Motors was founded in 1905 by Sir Herbert Austin in Longbridge, England and grew to become one of the greatest car manufacturers in the world. Austin engineered automobiles were the first automobiles manufactured by American Bantam, BMW, Mini, Austin-Healey, Rover, Rosengart in France, Roewe in China and Nisaan in Japan.
The Austin Seven was an incredibly popular vehicle at the time. The American version of the Austin Seven had a 15 hp 747 cc (45.6 cu in) inline-four engine with a top speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) in top gear. The car was a tiny 10 feet (3m) long with a 75 inch (1905mm) wheelbase and weighed only 1,130 lbs (514 kg), enabling the car to achieve 40 mpg (5.9 L/100 km) in 1930! The American Austin sold 8,558 vehicles during the company’s first year of production and produced around 20,000 cars before operations ceased in 1934.
American Bantam Car Co. was founded in 1935 by Roy Evans, a former salesman for Austin, who purchased the American Austin assets out of bankruptcy. American Bantam® car’s were built on the same 75 inch wheelbase chassis but with a new 19 hp (14 kW) engine and a new body with more modern styling designed by Alexis de Sakhnoffsky. Production of the Austin Seven renamed the American Bantam, resumed in 1937 and in 1940 the engine was upgraded to 22 hp (16 kW) to achieve a top speed of 60 mph. Around 6,000 Bantam® Sevens were built before America entered World War II. American Bantam designed the 4 wheel drive Jeep and produced the first examples, but did not have the facilities to make the number required, so the bulk of the Jeeps were produced by Willys, and Ford, to the design specifications from Bantam, though Bantam did make many of the Jeep trailers used in the war.
This is a departure from my usual subject and style. My wife and I with the Grandsons were checking out of the hotel in Rockport, Texas when I saw a golden opportunity to shoot these three Jeeps. The blue one on the end belongs to my wife. The other two belonged to some folks we met that morning. I got my iPhone and got busy. I hope y’all enjoy it.

Continuing relations with Jeep, the UIC eventually found a need of a rapid deployment and quick extraction ground vehicle. Jeep and the UIC concluded the two door Wrangler Commando to satisfy this need.
Meant for special action the Commando fits the bill when it comes too rapid and effective response. With a super charged engine, gas shocks, lift kit, full metal bumper, and towing. The Commando still retains troop safety, comfort, and effective defense against attackers or mother nature herself.

Curt and I stop for a shot of the Jeeps on this rock fill on our way up South Park Canyon. It must have taken a long time to fill that ravine.
