Ford GP: where is it now...?
Anyone have an idea where the GP of Marion Isbell, a Chicago based restaurant owner and the founder of Ramada Hotels, ended up? I found a few press photos following the family around their farm in WI from shortly after the jeep was purchased in 1944, but no other info. The jeep was named "tired" and was inscribed so on the backside of the rear driver wheel well.

Are you telling me to quit being a curmudgeon and finally read through the instructions on how to post a photo on this forum?!?

Re: Ford GP: where is it now...?
It seems as the squiqqly line on the windshield was indicative of the Jeep being a Bergs Jeep? Is that correct?

Never heard of that squiggly line deal. Mine came out of the Chicago area, I will now be sanding through the layers of paint on mine to see what lurks beneath!

It seems some of those Berg junkyard photos had that same line..
