Latest aquisition M-1C heat stamp 1179D any idea of the year  

I am looking for regulations considering the use of the various pink clothing items. About the how and when? Are there anywhere that I can find them? Thanks.

Incredible grouping!!

It did, and didn't even tear the upholstery 😇   I do still need to decide where to put it but I have an idea 😊    

Your hood number is very close to my guesstimated hood number, being 2042298. There is no formula to calculate hood numbers, as this depended on which side of the row the painters began, if the jeeps coming out of the factory were parked on the parking lot to be painted with frame numbers ascending or descending and if the jeep failed its final inspection and was sent back inside for repairs.   I have MB II0247 (d.o.d. January 8, 1942) and the closest reference I have is MB II0267. This Willys, that as far as I know doesn't exist anymore, had all its numbers recorded in an army log that survived. This log recorded its hood number as 2042318, so I chose the simple solution and detracted 20 from this number. If someone comes up with proof my chosen number is wrong I will gladly order a new paint stencil.     Another point of interest is that MB II0267 was also delivered on Jan. 8 '42 indicating mine wasn't sent back in for repairs, and its engine number was 111113, which gives me a good indication of a very small range of numbers that my original engine number would have been. I will probably never find an engine within that range, but nice to know anyway 🤭   The 'W' was dropped somewhere between W-2038565 and 2038700, as evidenced by photo's of original, factory-applied blue-grey hood numbers.

USN / Destroyer Squadron 15 (Comdesron Fifteen), ”Champion of Freedom”. Presented by Capt. E. I. Finke. 1973-1975. No manufacturer (apparently Japanese-made).

Yes, great ride and since it was morning it was rather quiet with still not many tourists around... Did the German stake make it home all right?

Hope you had fun! 😊    

It would appear to be a very bad business-decision of a monumental scale if they wouldn't?   I'm sure the new owners are fully aware that a significant portion of the local economy depends on D-Day-related tourism. And as Johan remarked to me last Sunday, it seems that portion is growing, even though there are very few surviving veterans and even less that can make the journey to there.   When you meet the new owners be sure to show them that last photo you posted above, just in case 🤭
