End of the Road

Post by Robbo »

A few old pictures including what appears to be a knackered G506:

The fellow behind the jeep in the second picture looks like the same mechanic in that great colour early CCKW picture from Ft Knox.

Anybody know what the Jeep is? At first I thought it was a slat grill, but then a second glance revealed the head lights on the fenders. It can't be a Bantam (can it?) because it says Willys. Very EARLY MB?

The truck with the girls in is a '42 Ford I think, and the door insignia is Third Service Command

By the grin on his face that's one happy fellow in amongst the truck load of young women.
