MB 451645 06/30/45-PICTURES ADDED 10-17-2007

Here is a photo of my un-restored 45MB.
The paint is original as well as the hood numbers. The rims have been repainted as well as some minor sheet metal repair from when it was damaged in the 1960's.
I have copy of the first civilian registration and the owner purchased it new in 1947.

Your jeep's DOD is (was) my father's 27th birthday. He has a fairly low regard for jeeps, though...
Is it true real Jeeps have flat fenders?
Alone cannot you it resist!

I am thinking about selling this Jeep soon.

UPDATE FOR PM's-

I'm not sure how I want to present it for sale. I have a matching un-restored Bantam trailer and complete original tool kit. If I do sell it will be auction for sure.

Glad you put the pics up of the trailer. Very nice indeed. Too bad you dont have any pics of the gpw that was at the same dealership to put up.

God bless
