MB 322987

I bought this jeep in remembrance of my grandfather and have come across some photos from 1944, of him and his jeep, with all hood numbers accounted for. Those I plan to apply to my hood and affix a plate in his honor on the dash, not by making any more holes in it though! I am so pleased to have found a candidate for resurrection that was probably bound for a parting out death. Veteran # MB322987 accounted for and reporting for duty. UPDATE: Found "original" USAF registration number under many coats of paint "USAF 20501688" I can't bring myself to paint over them, so, I guess I'm now in the market for a hood! Just about finished and now has my grandfather's markings from the 7th Corps, 50th Medical Bat.
