Preparing a Jeep for judging is fine, living the MB experience is better, especially when it brings back memories of young GI's driving Jeeps about at the WWII Air Base across the road, surplus Jeeps in the shop being worked on, years of happy Jeep parts customers swapping war stories, the local National Guard Armory with its Jeeps inside, Army Instructors sharing their WWII/Korea Jeep experiences. Every WWII Jeep owner has their own unique reason for owning their Jeep and the degree of restoration. The post war GI top on my MB with NOS GPW bows is fine for me, a repro A-3216 is in the works, but there are few of the old soldiers left who would recognize the difference between the Postwar top and the WWII version.
