Marc pointed out this is probably a early Ford export, the GP, and not the Willys design that Ford was tasked to make. http://www.overvalwagen.com/jeeps.html

    1. I sure don't know Dan, I've just been posting so darn many, but never getting to actually learn a lot about them. Comparison of early jeeps would be a learning experience for sure. I've learned that there were so damn more many varieties that I'd never known about preoviously... 7 slot vs 9 slot, horizontal grill vs vertical, and then the Hollywood jeeps built for movie makers because all the real ones were in the military. Then there are the Russian knock offs

    2. Oh yeah, and last week I posted about the 2 in one made by some military mechanics from 2 salvaged Jeeps

  2. This looks like an early Ford GPW, before Ford and Willys started using the same body and grill.
