I have had this jeep for over 25 years. It is a World War Two jeep…1942 Ford GPW. It’s the best vehicle I have ever owned. Sure it will never win any awards for factory restoration or even motor pool…but it’s already won the most important award I care about. That’s toting me about when I absolutely had to be there.  It happened in Alaska at -45F when my every day “modern” truck wouldn’t start.  The jeep fired right up.  The jeep kept me warm (okay I was wearing AF bunny pants and a parka along with mukluks) and it got me to work.

People talk about Hummers and such but I say who cares. There’s nothing better than a jeep. A Ford GPW jeep is even better.

All the while, while I was shooting these pictures the jeep’s engine was purring. What a great vehicle to have.
