Default PIECE of HISTORY!!!!

I just received this in the mail today from my family out west....this belonged to my Grandfather.......I was pretty excited when I saw it and thought I would share!

It's an original from 1943 and it's phenomenal shape! Pretty cool piece of history!

That is Awesome! Not only for the manual, but it will make you think of your Grandfather too, a family bond thing as well.

I work with Ford putting on our Fab Fords show, they'll be excited to see the pictures. My Early Bronco friends have a great time teasing us about having a Jeep now and not a Bronco, so this will be a good reminder to them that Ford made Jeeps too.

Thanks for sharing. If you get a good scan of the cover and the artwork that would be nice to share. Be careful and don't damage the binding of the book though!

I'm jealous. I love both Ford and Jeep.
