Hi All.  Saw a Military jeep in Macungie Pa. on Memorial Day at the Turkey Hill Minit Market in the morning.  It looked like it said Frances on the side. Anyone know who it belongs to?  Just curious about it.

The jeep use to belong to Rocketeer but he sold it. He is still a member. Maybe Larry can give us an update:

Nice that it stayed local (to the picnic where it sold), and that someone is driving it.  

My wife and I stay in Macungie to go to Kempton.  Sounds like odds are good we see Frances in a couple weeks-

Thanks for the info on this jeep.  It was all decked out in military attire. The person driving it was even dressed in military uniform. I think the person was dressed in a blue uniform.

If you get a chance, you should read the build thread for Frances.  That thread makes for fascinating reading (to any flatfender lover).
There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

I sold it to a WWII veteran who lives just outside of Macungie. Nice to hear he's driving it around.
