LarryH57 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) We are used to seeing Caution Left Hand Drive etc on the rear of Jeep hoods when driven on UK roads in WW2. Presumably such signage was applied in the UK and not on the production line, so if Jeeps were delivered direct to France after D-Day or for that matter any Mediterranean country, or US forces in the Pacific then nothing was written? Not many photos show the rear of the hood outside the UK or it is lowered so it is hard to tell.

ruxy Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Not counting the very early 40BRC by Bantam Car , the Willys & Ford were crated in standard for and re-assembled in UK - then modifications done to such as electricals (lighting) - that was quite heavy relatively speaking . Caution LHD stencil would be quite light work, I presume for benefit of UK road users, same with lighting ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH57 Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 In that case the makers of 'Midway' the movie must have filmed or sourced 'UK' Jeeps for their movie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly parts of film done @ Pinewood Studios & they hired in locals ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
