That sure is a nice-looking Marine A1! Even a USMC water can! And the high-mount antenna and radio, and siren. What's not to like? It looks like a great jeep. Ready to go for fun drives, turning heads, and parades. What are your plans for it? :D

Hi, The jeep is now in San Dimas, CAlifornia. I guess there is or was a Marine base in Oklahoma.
Thanks
John
