There was a thread, most likely on this forum about wartime and postwar jeep mods..
Base motor pool sections had competitions...object was to keep guys busy and moral high...all kinds of sedans and contraptions

My idea is - car was work with pieces from GB cars...
I think, doors, roof...
But it is only my idea

I am very very inquisitive if anobody will see more photos....

(if I understand - car is today in any collection)
