Some vehicles seen in Bastogne's main street on Saturday night....

Early Willys (Slatgrill) MB, Ser#124xxx, DoD 3-4-1942

In the background, you can see the Sherman tank on the corner of Bastogne's main square...

Very nice vehicles but honestly - how can someone put all the stupid looking plates on a historical vehicle like this? pinch.gif
Next time someone probably paints his vehicle in pink and puts on white wall tires because the wifes likes it better or what?

YEEEEAH - seems we are talking the same language... w00t.gif
It always puts me a smile on my face... no, I“m shaking my head... or maybe both... when I see all the beer & wine crates, glas bottles and german helmets or even post WWII stuff tied on bumpers, hoods and fenders of US WWII Vehicle at Wings & Wheels and elsewhere. thumbdown.gif
Especially when there is a lot of space in the back.
Best is when the driver wears a german Flecktran uniform or woodland uniform.
You know what I mean?

I say,
Remember, the reason you tie things all over is so that there is room in the back. Fill a Jeep or a 3/4 or a halftrack with the load of soldiers that are supposed to be there and there's no room for a deck of cards. Post war stuff, though and all those doggone rally flags just hurt my eyes.
