Maj. Gen. Michael Garshak christened a 1941 Willys Jeep Tuesday at the Idaho Military History Museum. Museum board member Rob Lytle, a retired brigadier general, spent the past several months restoring the Jeep to get it operating again. The Jeep is on display at the museum, which is free to the public, and open Tuesday - Saturday from noon - 4 p.m. The museum is located just outside Gowen Field. Between 1941-1945, approximately 650,000 Jeeps were produced by The Bantam Car Company, Willys Overland-Motors, and the Ford Motor Company. This vehicle represents Idaho's 183rd Field Artillery Battalion (155mm Howitzer-Tractor Drawn) and is similar to those the battalion operated in the European theater of operations between June 1944 and May 1945. The Jeep was a true workhorse throughout the war, everywhere in the world during that time. #idahonationalguard #idahomilitaryhistorymuseum #wwii #wwiihistory #history #jeep #wwiijeep #willyjeep #restore #jeepfamily #jeepthing #becausejeep #je...
