I have an M38A1. I served from 1951 to 1994 & it was my choice of the
perfect jeep.
Durable, fast enough off road & perfectly stable going up or coming down
in the tank trails or open fields. Comfortable on the road.
I am not interested in the flat fender era, other to enjoy looking at
them.
I think we can both have the best of our memories along with the fun.
