    I hate to be the Jeep police, but the data plates look to be stamped incorrectly (raised not engraved). While the 70xxx Kaiser serial seems right for a '54 MD (my '55 is 81xxx) what's the "4242" delivery date and inspection code? I like the look in "Desert Storm" tan, but I don't think the WWII stars are correct. Still, it looks good. It will be interesting to see what it brings. Sometimes Jeep sales on BaT are very high, other times...not so much. This one looks great on the outside and that can be enough to tempt a non sheep expert who doesn't know (or care) about the correct details. BaT prides itself in carefully curating the vehicles it lists. But I haven't been too impressed with some of their military Jeeps. Most famously the one last year said to be a returned WWII combat Jeep which proved to be a 1960s French Hostkiss copy.
