Jeep dame of the Day

[YLG80]

Yves, can you post a photo of your "now restored" jeep. It would be interesting to compare it with the photo, i bet it hasnt been overloaded like it was in the original photo.

There is already a picture of the "now restored" jeep above in this thread :

She was like that before the restoration, in 2005 or 2005:

After the restoration, the Dame of my Jeep, i.e my wife, told me that she preferred the red "Bordeaux" color !
Despite of that, I've nicknamed the Jeep "Sweet Lou" to the beloved Dame of my Jeep. At least she loves that !

Looks like someone installed home made civilian style rear corner bow pocket for a CJ type top. Is my guess correct ?

I kept the holes for the CJ-2a bow pockets, because I still have the CJ2A bows that could be used as safety bars .

That is magnificent Yves, and yes, we have to keep the ladies happy.

Thank you for your kind comment.

Here is another Jeep Dame of the Day in Russia, Mogilev 1949. !
I should say in USSR because Mogilev is now in Belarus, not in Russia.

That looks like a GPW late enough to have the radio junction box as you can see the 4 screws.

Even though it looks like a TCS controller and cable the boxes in the back and antenna does not appear to be for a TCS.

Very interesting photo!

@Farrell Thanks for the information.

WWII is almost over in the ETO. May 2nd 1945
The Jeep Dame of the Day, i.e the driver : "Ok, nobody smiles, I will show my best smile to the photographer !"
After all, she likely knows that the war will come to an end very soon !

I suppose it's General Joe L.Collins behind Eisenhower?
I don't know who are the other officers?

She lights up that photo Yves. Looks like we need more women in jeeps.

The "Strasbourgeoises" at the back of a very muddy jeep, after the violent combats to free up the Alsace.

Looks like the wire cutter on the front of the jeep has been used - its bent !
