Canadian Jeep contract 505: Willys MB s/n 177581

[peter simundson]

It is a 505 Canadian Jeep. It should have a glove box. No glove box was 242's. Only canadian vehicles had the data plate above the steering wheel. There are no numbers on the vehicle other than the data plate and the frame plate. My vehicle number is 177049, engine 177292. Date of mfg. Aug 31 1942. I have a second set of original plates vehicle number 170304
engine number 176708. Build date Aug 28 1942.
505's had one electric wiper on the drivers side. If you have an original windshield likely there is this odd bracket at the top
where a wiper should be. That's the electric wiper bracket.
Good luck with it.
