P51 that is a great looking jeep, back in my day we had the M151A1 and M151A2, they put roll bars on them always wanted to get my hands on one, they took the roll bars off and they went to the range for weapons qual. for the USAF and the US Army. Very nice!

I served after the Army had long before gotten rid of the Ford MUTT vehicles you describe; some Marine units had a few with full roll cages into the 90s.

When I show it at shows (it's been down for most of the summer due to brake issues that hopefully will be fixed by this weekend) or have it stopped on a drive, it never fails that some cold war vet will come up and say they drove one just like it.

The only similarities between a MB/GPW from WW2 and the 151 series is that it had a somewhat similar silhouette. It's like someone who once drove a VW Karman Ghia saying they actually drove a Porsche 911...
