Eric, I am not sure, but I think it was during the war. They, like many Americans soldiers thought the Kubel performed better than the Jeep, so they probably traded 3 Jeeps for the Bucket Car.

I have a few pictures I inherited when my Dad passed away in 07. I am not sure if my Dad took these or a friend of his, but they were in one of the family photo albums.

That's funny because when I was in high school in the late 70s, we were into the bell bottoms and you were considered a geek if any part of your shoes or socks showed. When 501s first came in, we were saying, ha what a nerd.
