View of soldiers in Studebaker Weasel amphibious vehicle. Label on back: "A water-going version of the famed Weasel, which has won GI respect as a transportation unit over mud, snow and sand, was revealed by Studebaker today. Primary differences between earlier Weasels (M-29) and the new M-29C is a longer, boat-shaped body. The Weasel's advantage over other amphibious craft, says the manufacturer, is an ability to climb steep river banks and its ready conversion to water travel. Rudders to aid maneuverability are merely released over the stern. Propulsion is from a continuous circuit track powered by a Studebaker passenger car engine, exactly as in land operations." Handwritten on back: "Amphibious vehicles."
