And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Looks like the one I had in high school only my top was black. '47 civilian if I remember correctly. Had vacuum windshield wiper on the drivers side and a hand cranked one for the passenger.
We had a mil surplus 1945 Jeep on the farm during my youth and teen years. A repair manual and tools were under the front seats. That Jeep taught me to never want a Jeep. Rough ride, hot in the summer and cold in the winter, I will stick with creature comforts the Lariat SuperDuty provides.
