Hi Brian, I've been into your site for some time, It's good to find
one of such high quality and containing so much of interest to all jeep
lovers. I've attached a few photo's of my own restoration, done some 8
years ago, and a couple taken fairly recently. It took me three years and
a huge amount of money, but it was worth every penny. I don't think I could
ever sell it. As you can see, it really was a basket case, but 30 years
in the car body repair trade paid off. I toured Normandy in it in
June 2004, to celebrate the D-Day landings. A great week. It's a 1942 G.P.W.
Everything rebuilt or replaced. It's not a daily runner, but gets used
whenever the weather is good. ( not very often here in the west country
of England). It's finished in the markings of I believe the personal jeep
of Lt Joeseph Kennedy Jr. U.S.Navy ( President J.F.K's elder brother
) whilst based At Dunkeswell in Devon during W.W.II. I did the best
I could using an old black and white photo, which was not in the best condition!,
so please allow a little artistic licence!! I chose this because
up untill recently I was a co owner of this still thriving airfield. P.B.4.Y.
1's ( Liberators ) and P.B.Y. 5A's were flown on anti U-boat patrols from
here. ( Kennedy being killed during operation 'Aphrodite'). Please use
as you feel fit. Best regards Jeff. Tanks again for an excellent
website.

Emil
"Butch" Siegfried (driver in pic). SCMVCC member, who had attended
many Big
Bear Jeep Rallies and restored many jeeps, WWII,
Korean M-38, and Vietnam War M151, M151A1, M151A2 and lots more at his
Corona, Calif. jeep restoration shop. Here
Are 2 wonderfully restored WWII Ford GPWs, Butch's AAF is shown with
the Geisler's NAVY jeep. He was a survivor of theBattle of theChosin
Reservoir with the USMC. His help, knowledge and warm
smile will be missed by the many friends he leaves behind.
Brian,
Here are some pics of "Emily" '42 GPW (Ser. No. GPW13024) . What
do ya think?
B/O guard, fenders, suspension parts, et al came from you back in
the early 1990's.
(Lunette ring, landing leg, cast draw bracket etc. from you also)
Better pics to follow!!! (M48 mount added Spring 2001.)
Sincerely,
John R. Holzinger
