Don's Colorado-New Mexico Trip Continues

Don was in Denver, Colorado, and stopped by the Forney Museum of Transportation. Inside he found this nice looking M-38A1.

He also stopped by the El Pinto Restaurant in Albuquerque (which he recommends). There he spotted this 1945 GPW.

Wow! That is a cool display with them stuck to the ceiling!

Never found the old tires to have that much grip...

None of the pics are displaying upside-down now... at least not on Firefox. Or did Dave fix 'em? Nice military jeeps!

The photos were upside down when I imported them, so I flipped them over inside of wordpress. They seemed to look fine on my browsers. Is anyone else still having a problem with them? - Dave

As of Sunday 2:44 on the west coast, pictures 3 & 4 are still upside down on my iPad...not a deal breaker.

Hopefully, the issue is now fixed!

Still looks great every way I can open it: I just re-opened it on Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, and the browser on my Samsung 4

Actually, the one in front or El Pinto is. 1945 Ford GPW. As of now, it has the canvas top off displaying a "1919A4" on the top and. "Thompson" on the dash. Soon to come will be the MaDuce M2 to replace the .30, and either a trailer or cannon in tow.

Thanks Dave. I'll update it. Does it have an MB tub? It looked like the tool box covers were flat like an MB (details could have been lost in the photo).

David, the GPW is all Ford. Tub, frame, and engine all original. Of course, the engine just had its first rebuild ever, and is in my garage awaiting the installation. When I got it, it came with tools, original jack (actually for a deuce and a half), first aid kit (about 50% stocked), and a M100 trailer?

Thanks for the update Dave!

Oh, I just went outside to check on the toolbox doors. One is debossed (GPW), the other is flat (MB), right? I never noticed that, lol. Now I have to find a passenger side GPW toolbox door. I found you see one let me know ?

That's funny! I'm sure that Peter DeBella, Ron Fitzpatrick or George Baxter (Army Jeep Parts) will have one (See ads at the top right side). - Dave
