035: Sergeant Wayne L. Miller’s 1943 Willys MB
I found this 1943 Willys MB sitting at an old gas station just before they put a For Sale sign on it last July. The trailer is a Bantam Car Company T-3. It was fully equipped except the grease gun and the tool kit that I’m working on now. It now has Kaiser Willys brakes, starter button, horn kit, wheel seals, seat cover, etc.. It just gets better. It has been authenticated as original, released to the Quartermaster Corp, United States Army on March 14, 1943. The numbers on the glove box plates and the frame match and were verified by the Director of The Americans in Wartime Museum in Aden Va.
The MB came in first in Classic Jeep catagory in the 09 Northern Va Jeep Association Contest out of 70 Jeeps. She will be in about 13 Parades in the Washington DC area this year to include down Constitution Avenue in two National Parades on Veterans Day and the 4th of July. I am a proud member of MVPA, Washington Area Blue, and Gray Military Vehicle Trust.
