58 - 1944 WWII GPW Jeep
1st Place - Antique Vehicles
|

|
Please welcome David Miller and his 1944 GPW Ford Jeep. Roughly
640,000 of these jeeps were manufactured by the Ford Motor Company and the
Willys-Overland Company during World War II. What distinguishes this vehicle
from the other Jeeps of its vintage is that it was used extensively in the 20th
Century Fox series M.A.S.H. It also had roles in the movies Patton and Tora!
Tora! Tora! Today David would like to make a special salute to the Korean War
veterans who live in and around our city.
