Ford GPA Seep (Jeep GPA) is an amphibious version of the ubiquitous Jeep, also produced by the Ford concern. It was powered by a 4-cylinder 60HP engine. Vehicles of this type were too heavy and difficult to control during maneuvers on the water, and as a result, they were not popular. These vehicles were introduced to the equipment of US troops because of the rivers crossing areas of Italy and northwest Europe. Production began in 1941 and by 1943 about 12,800 vehicles had been built. The Ford GPA was used in combat during the landing in Sicily, during the Italian campaign (1943-1945), during the Normandy landing and during Operation Market-Garden in September 1944. He also served during the fighting in the Benelux countries and in the crossing of the Rhine in 1945. It was also delivered to the USSR, where it served under the designation GAZ46 MAV. Specifications: length: 462 cm, width: 163 cm, height: 175 cm, weight: 1.1 t, engine power: 60 HP.
