A photo of my Grandpa in post-war Germany in 1951. He is 88 years old now.

Cool photo! Interesting top on that M-38, too. Is it an ambulance Jeep?

There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

That just plain cool. Thanks for sharing this.
The story goes that my M38 was brought back to the states after being used in post war occupied Germany

I am hoping Grandpa has enough time left that I can get my 48 done, I would love to sort of recreate this photo for him. He survived another heart attack a couple months ago, tough ol bugger he is.
