GPW 252598

This jeep is a 45 Ford GPW. It has a fascinating history, and it came with the documents including the 1946 orders and freight bill to ship it here from England. Lt. Col. Tom Conroy was the Commanding Officer of 8th AF 389th BG 566 Squadron. He was decorated for his actions participating in B-24 raids. He was selected for the rank of general. Prior to that promotion, he tragically died when his jet flamed out over the ocean. This jeep is preserved in his honor and all of those who so faithfully served our great nation.
