Default "Interest in Jeeps is revived"

I met Bill Diehm back in 1979. Apart from his interest in jeeps, he was , at the time, restoring a 1/2 Ton WC Dodge 4x4 and later on he had a rare 1941 Aust. army car type Ford ute.

20+ years ago, I bought a 2 gallon POW can from a guy at a swap meet in Melbourne, we got talking and it turns out the guy was Bill Diehm's son. Bill passed on many years ago.
