Nice garage to go along with the Nice vehicle

As I understood it that one of the tie ins with Ford was that should a WWII Jeep suffer some bad parts / defective parts Henry didn't want to be replacing any Willy's parts so he insisted that every Ford mfg part have a Ford identification , not sure if that was just "F" marking or a Ford part number . This was important since both GPW and MB had interchangeable parts for the most part .

Nicely arranged , great photo's
