Jeeps in Olive Drab
The rare CJ-V35/U gets the nod for being the first post-war production military Jeep. Only 1,000 were built from March to June 1950 for use by the Navy and Marines. It was a specially built version of the civilian CJ-3A, adapted to provide transportation for beachmasters during amphibious landings. Its main features included snorkels on the intake and exhaust, waterproof ignition, and a PTO-driven 12- or 24-volt generator to run a special radio set.
