Saw this 1944 Willys (pronounced willis) on the road and asked him to pull over. What a trip, the very first model and the latest model both stripped. It was a beautiful Jeep and the guy does WWII reenactments with it.
Trivia:
The phrase "Follow the bouncing ball" came from the guys in the field in WWII. The differential cover on his Jeep was painted white and he said that at night the lead Jeep would run his nighttime lights and the other Jeeps would all shine a light on the diff of the Jeep in front of them. They called it following the bouncing ball.
Sorry for the crappy pics I don't have a smart phone with a nice camera
