Earl forwarded a photo of him and a jeep. Note how he created his ‘white walled tires’.

He writes, “Here is a photo of me and my first jeep a 1942 Ford GPW in 1952, my daily driver in high school. I paid $100 for it and had to drive it home in low range because it didn’t have any brakes. I’m still buying them without brakes. I hand painted the whitewalls on the tires, I never had a flat so it still had the combat wheels.”
