I'll come, but I'm not gonna fall for wearing a skirt... Didn't CAS3 Skip move to Kansas? That's right in the middle so easy for us all to get to.

No Sir, it's a GP, forerunner to the GPW or more commonly referred to as a "proto-type" Ford jeep. There was the ONE "Pygmy"...... then there were a little over 5000 GP's produced in two series........THEN the GPW/MB Jeep.

I don't have any side by side comparo pictures NOR do I have a GPW handy to take a picture of. I can however post this, first is the Ford Pygmy, second is the GP and third is GPW.

Can I do a little "Throw back Tuesday" and submit a couple of my Dear Ol' Dad, one in December of 1975 sealing the deal on our 33 standard 4 door, in the 39 Mercury pulling into a car show and the last (sorry for the poor quality) but the last is him with me and my brother on the running board of our German 32 Ford....ONLY about 33ish years BEFORE we would become the owners of it & some 53 years ago!!!!....you see where and how I got the bug!!!!

I am located one block from scenic downtown Beverly Kansas, on HWY 252, the shortest state HWY. I am the only house there, so don't ya think they should rename it for me?

37 Coupe · 11-26-2024, 06:33 PM

I think the '37 looks a lot better than the '46 on the running board(me).
