Information on Box: Jeep was the popular name for the United States Army's smallest military reconnaissance car widely used during World War II. The origin of the name is not really known, but some have said it derives from Eugene the Jeep, a small wonder-working animal in a comic strip by Elzie C. Segar, or from the slurring of the G.P. (General Purpose). But whatever the origin of its name, the origin of its reputation was based on its remarkable power, stamina and maneuverability (lightweight). It had a 1/4 ton capacity, weighed 2200-2300 pounds, had a 4-wheel drive, was capable of going 60 mph-and did everything! It hauled troops, ammunition or light cargo; towed airplane or small artillery parts; and , with special fittings, served as an ambulance, fire-fighting vehicle, mobile machine-gun mount or radio patrol car. As Ernie Pyle, the late well-known war correspondent wrote, " I don't think we could continue the war without the jeep."
