GPW 190258

This jeep was purchased from Steffen of the Jeepfabrikken in Norway in September 2002. The original dataplates were missing having been replaced by the Norwegian military. No hood number was found when the hood was sanded. The jeep has undergone basic mechanical and cosmetic restoration. A full ground up restoration is planned for 2004/05. I have marked the jeep as of the 9th Air Force's 425th Night Fighter Squadron which was based at RAF Scorton in North Yorkshire, England in June, July and August of 1944. The hood number is copied from a jeep in a photograph taken of the 425th's motorpool in France later in 1944.
