Ford Jeep 155135 was returned to Australia and written off by BOS at 3BOD in 1959.

A jeep close by in the Register list went to the PMG.

Default NEI reg. plates

I can see the Dutch flag and RNF reg. plates on this rig. Presumably the pic was taken in Victoria.

Location is given: Puckapunyal

This is the coupe style ute with the split rear window. Most of these , including the army issued examples, had the truck style cab with a separate wooden framed rear tub.

US army training in Victoria somewhere: if you can believe the captions !

Might be a good idea to keep these SLV pics in the one post, rather than splitting them up and posting them on sub-forums.

1941 Willys car used by Melbourne Police during WW2 - fitted with a Police radio receiver ( caption is incorrect, not a 77 model ) . Bodywork was probably by Flood. The few sedans assembled had GM-H bodies fitted. There was a 41 Willys sedan up at Bendigo for sale in the early 1980s , purchased new by a doctor, the reg. papers were in the glovebox . I could have bought it for $100 , a very rare car and RHD. Pic is sourced from the Vic. Police museum.
