As a Kid in 1960s TV Show Called "Passage to Adventure" GPA Jeep Went Around the World.
The boat cars
The Soviets via Lend-Lease got 3,520 Ford GPAs. They liked it so much that after the war they copied it as GAZ-46, correcting many issues of the original.

Thanks for the video! The GPA looks far too small to be useful... other than ferrying around a small number of personnel like a Kettenkrad.
Always glad if you guys like the videos. Indeed it was too small...they actully developed a trailer for it so it can carry more in water.
Nice video
Do you know if there was some ford gpa in the pacific or on the d-day and normandy ?
There were GPAs on the pacific...probably on D-day too but i can't say that for sure.
If you guys have any topics or vehicles you'd like to see a video about please leave a comment and let me know!
I love how you can find actual footage of these things
Glad you noticed..well my channel originally started with finding and posting the original and rare video reels. So i have tons of footage. I do try to go with the real thing whenever it's possible.
But i do need to look through hours and hours of reels to collect the footage for one video like this. There's usually more that doen't make it in these videos
