My Jeep turned 75 yesterday!

I know I'm right in the middle of a timeframe when almost all WW2 Jeep owners have had their Jeep's 75th 'birthday' (or will soon), but my Jeep's 75th came yesterday. I just had to fire her up and take her for a stroll around town after work last night to celebrate. Got lots of thumbs up and waves from everyone and the weather was perfect!

Not bad for never having been restored, huh?

Doesn't look a day over 74!

Since I posted the last reply, I have bought a military Jeep, a M38A1 (1952-71 100,000+ produced for U.S. and allies).

So, how did you determine it's "birthdate"?
Of course Jeeps have data plates on the dash, but mine only has the Willys serial, build month and year, but not date.
I have been told the Army records no longer exist, so Willys records?
