Doron Segal from Israel shared these photos. In memory of his father, Doron has rebuilt a 1942 GPW with the number “4062”. His father served in the “Samson Foxes“.
The two photos below are from a fifteenth club event in Israel, 2010 (see more current photos here). Doron can be seen driving his GPW in the first one:
Here are some vintage photos. They jeeps shown are a mix of MB/GPWs, CJ-2As and a Lefty CJ-2A. It looks like the rear extension was a must-have modification. Note the number on the jeep in the first photo.
And a couple more current photos:
Great Pics! I like the tires on the 1942 GPW “4062”. Are those available in the US?
I was wondering the same thing. I haven’t seen them advertised.
If memory serves correct these are of French origin, the tread pattern that is. Maybe some of the readers in Europe can shed some light.
Heres some;
