Meaning of GP
Paul,
I think you will find that GP was the Ford code for: G = Government P = 80 inch wheel base There is a copy of a US Army document with the Ford ID list & explanation that supports the meaning of 'GP' in Cowdrey' All American Wonder, Vol 1, p 23. Of course, that does not provide any explanation of the origin of the popular name 'jeep'. Mike Last edited by Mike Cecil; 26-02-21 at 03:34. Reason: more info/reference
