Paul wrote to say that a friend of his brought this GPW by for a look.

Paul writes, “My friend Lynn stopped by a few days ago to show me his most recently purchased Jeep.  It’s a 1943 Ford, in pretty solid shape considering the fact it’s been parked outside under a spruce tree for many years.  Lots of spruce needles covering the inside of the tub, the usual rust in the floors along with dents and dings but a pretty darn complete 69 year old Jeep.  Also included with this Jeep (but stored in the tow vehicle for the trip home) were both front seats and the folding rear seat.  Numerous parts are stamped with the letter F and all three data plates are still attached to the glove box door.  Not only did the neighbors come over to eyeball the Jeep when it was parked in front of the house but Lynn mentioned on the way home while stopped in traffic and while in a parking lot folks were wanting to look the Jeep over and some even tried to buy it.  Anyway, this old Ford arrived safely at it’s new home where a pressure wash will remove the grime and plant residue and allow a more in depth inspection of this steel soldier.”
