Re: Inappropriate use of Jeep name?
 

Your dad used the Ford GPA:
http://members.aol.com/drivetowwii/P...ibiousJeep.jpg

And a GPA next to a DUKW, for comparison:
http://members.aol.com/drivetowwii/P...GPAandDUKW.jpg

A nice try at the concept, but they didn't do well in practice. They
didn't have much freeboard and tended to swamp, and didn't have much
ground clearance and tended to high-center on embankments.

And then there was the non-jeep Amphicar:
