Hello!

Trying to find any history, photos, paperwork, and memories on this jeep. Bought it in West Chester, PA and we are trying to find out more about the vehicle. It had CAP markings.

If anyone has any info, contact would be appreciated!

She now lives in New England, Rhode Island border!

Thanks

Rick

The Paper trail ended when it was transferred out of the military system. The file on the Jeep was destroyed per regulation when it leaves the custody of the military.

Thanks, But I am also looking for previous owners, maybe someone who took a picture or two at a function or a parade or while it was on CAP missions? Anything, I'd just like to find and preserve all the history I can find on her!

Thanks

Rick

In all the surplus vehicle sales I visited, I only got two Property disposal officers to let me have a peek at the vehicle records, it was that strict.

Making some headway, two previous owners were a Huis, and Muller, Muller sold to Huis in 1988 in Dublin PA. If this will help anyone, I would appreciate the help!

Thanks
