Mighty-Mite Test Trials from 1950's

Thought these Mighty-Mite vids were pretty cool.

I searched the SS site to see if they had already been posted.
Did not find them, so here is part 1 of 2:

I have the original manual for the test manual here. One of the prototype mites was delivered to Camp Lejeune, a Marine sergeant was given the task of just driving it every day and reporting on the handling of the new jeep. He gave the manual to my friend, who gave it to me.
One of the few, Frank USMC RET

That thing is awesome. Just make sure that it is oil in the block, gas in the tank and drive it like you stole it lol.

I want one. What do they cost?

I'm guessing Aberdeen for the testing site; it's got that coastal plain look of the area.

Wonder how the development of the Jeep mixed with this; anybody know?
