Hans Completed GPW

UPDATE:  I posted this back in 2010 prior to Hans completing the project.  Well, his GPW is complete and looks great.  Unfortunately, we couldn’t locate any more history about this jeep (or at least I didn’t find any).  Thanks to Roberto for updating me on this.

Sometime last year Hans purchased 1944 GPW 236146 from Menno Keizer, an auto/jeep dealer in the Netherlands.  As part of the restoration process, Hans has been trying to track down the US owner of the Jeep.  We know the title from the US points to an owner by the name of Tom Mitchell (may be deceased) and/or Susan (mitchell?) in Guntersville, Al.  If you for some reason recognize this jeep or know anyone from Guntersville, please let us know.

You can view many pictures of the rebuild at his website or

View his thread at G503

Here’s what Hans bought:

Here’s the completed jeep:

Lifting a Willys MA at the Presidio

From the San Francisco Library Archives comes this picture of soldiers lifting a Willys MA (thanks Josh!).

Here’s the text that accompanies the archive: “Dwarfed by the sprawling expanse of the Golden Gate Bridge in the background and the lifting power of a few soldiers, two of the new jeeps to be used for military traffic duty are shown at Crissy Field. Notice, at right, how the troops don’t seem to be straining hard as they raise the car. Handles for lifting the little war machines can be seen on the jeep at left. Three dozen of the vehicles were issued to the 524th Military Police Battalion.”

Prototype top on MB?

Bob forwarded me this image.  We both felt the top looked more designed for GP, Bantam or Quad than for a MB/GPW.

Bob writes, “A woman at work gave me a small print today. Said it was in her aunt’s stuff when she died. It was taken around 1947. Looks like an MB sporting it’s combat wheels. It was her boyfriend who drove the jeep. He was int he Navy at the time, but I don’t know if it was his Jeep or the Navy’s. I think the top is pretty cool”

Tuxedo Park Mark IV Package for CJ-5 Questions

April 9, 2012 • CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

A reader had a few specific questions about the Tuxedo Park Mark IV Page related to a jeep he’s considering buying, but needs to know the following:

1. The CJ-5 is missing the chrome rear bumper.  Was the rear bumper also used on any other models? How hard is it to find a replacement.

2. The column shift assembly is missing and it is the stock three speed.  Where these the same ones used on the DJ or Surrey or any other models?

3.  Did all Mark IV Pages have a V6 and the Emblem on the side as shown below (from the early CJ-5 Page)?

If anyone has the answers offhand, that would be great.
