Re: Jeep dame of the Day
I believe it's a DKW "Munga"!
That jeep was produced by Auto-Union.

Re: Jeep dame of the Day
You are welcome Mark.
Have a look a that video ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bVlWBdRajI
You can even smell the exhaust gases from that 2 stroke 3 cyl. engine.
It had the characteristic noise of the the Auto Union / DKW, Wartburg or Trabant cars when decelerating
DKW was later taken over by Audi/VW.
What a pollution !

More likely a Vietnam jeep as the licence plate & the lady driving it would suggest,
'42 Chevy 1.5t
'44 MB
'53 Studebaker 2.5t
'77 M-880

The Mini Moke is really a fun "jeep" very low on the road, like a kart.

Re: Jeep dame of the Day
Many thanks for the video Yves, the Munga looks like a cross between a Kubelwagen and a MUTT. Mini Mokes, they built those about a mile away from where i live. I know the British Army ordered a load, then discovered the ground clearance was too low. They exported many of them to Cyprus and Australia. I was in Cyprus several years ago and seen a few knocking about. There are also several in England, they do look pretty good.

It's not necessary to jam Ron web server by publishing the same pictures multiple times .
Here is one photo of the liberation in Paris.
I don't know how many Dames are on the jeep !
The Jeep seems to support that load very well !
That could be an appropriate "Bye Bye" photo !

One has to ponder how the driver is viewing the road with the girl sitting (straddling?) the steering wheel in that final shot...
