UPDATE: Yep, I fell for the story and didn’t check the “Willys MB” close enough. Thanks for correcting me guys!

Joe shared this story from the Wall Street Journal about a WWII vet who restored a 1942 GPW.

    I went to be last night thinking, “did I check that jeep close enough?”

    Then I thought, “naw, a veteran who rebuilt his jeep would have mentioned that he had a Ford GPW and not a Willys MB to the reporter, right???”

    Apparently not!!
