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

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.
