Picture of my Ford GPW 115589 in 1953.

Post by Hubson » Mon Feb 20, 2017 2:32 am

Hallo at all
My Ford GPW 115589 was until 1953 in use by the US Army.
The US Army sold it to a private Man in Vienna.
He made it streetlegal and the Austrian Paperwork/Titel needs a picture.
Here it is.
Greetings from Austria
Hubert

Hello Hubert,

Your photo didnt show up sorry, but it sound very interesting when it does!

If you need help/unsure, you can go to www.surfacezero.com/g503 and sign up, it is free and the vast majority of us use it to 'host' our jeep photos on the internet. You can then post the link to the page with the photo, or there are various links on the right hand side of the photo once it is loaded onto the site which you can copy and past to put the photo directly into your message.

If stuck, let me know and i`ll help you out.

Cheers,
Ian.

Great picture, Hubson! As hammerhead said, not many of us are lucky enough to know our jeep's history, let alone have a picture from that far back! Definitely post some new pictures of it if/when you can.
