The GPA, called the Seep, was Ford's amphibious version of its wartime GPW jeep, of which more than 12,000 were made and which served with Allied forces from D Day onwards in Europe and the Pacific. It was too slow and heavy on land and not seaworthy enough in open water, though it was widely used, and a third of the output went to the Soviet Union under Lend Lease. This site gives every generation and every model year its own page, in one generation: the single generation (1942 to 1943).
