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.”
