This jeep has some of the stranger fenders I've seen on WWII jeeps. They seem like they are slowly absorbing the jeep

"Marshall "Grandpa" Jones and Roy Joe Baxter pose with Roy Joe's stream-lined Jeep in Munich, Germany, 1945. The Jeep was named "the Hunk." After the war Jones attained fame as a musician on the Grand Ole Opry. At the age of 32 he was already called "Grandpa"-- he got his nickname ten years prior due to his grouchy moods on his morning radio show. The Jeep was most likely a government contracted passenger model made by Ford or Willys. There were over 500,000 of these cars produced during the War."
