GPW 187253
August 1943 GPW currently being restored. Had some remnants of wartime British paint. Info as to day of delivery, hood number and factory would be appreciated.
My tub is stamped on top, above the rear driver when arch. There is “normal“ and “occulate“ and other templated markings on the dash. I believe it to be an Esslingen rebuild as the data plate just says 1952.
