Lauren Child Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 It looks small. My guess would be one of the unsuccessful competitors for the M422 Mighty Mite contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Child Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Found it - I reckon it's a CT3 Crosley Pup. There's a lineup photo here - http://www.ewillys.com/category/airborne-lightweight-jeeps/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) is it pre jeep?.............. no, built in 1943, correctly identified by Lauren as Crossley prototype, several other manufactures including Willys built alternative lightweight Jeep prototypes but non were taken up by the Military Edited December 16, 2013 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RattlesnakeBob Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 seeing as a 'standard normal Jeep' can be pretty awesome 'off road' , I'll bet one of those 'lightweights' is truly staggering.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I'd have fancied it in that one. Looking at the photo's on that link, the seats are staggered. I don't think there would be much to hold onto.
