federal written on the hood ornament

found this one the other day

I like it more every time I see it

21willys, haven't been back to look at it since I bought it. when I get a little time I'll go back, inspect it a little better, take some more pics and get more information on it and then maybe we can talk about it.

yeah I was told it's pretty rare. I really hate to take it apart and would rather some collector have it but don't know who to contact or where to offer it for sale

not sure when and if I will get around to building it. a friend gave me a 1 ton chevy rv frame with steering suspension and axles I could use but I also have a 96 f350 dually powerstroke I just parked when I got a newer truck. or I could just fix and use as is.. looked it over a bit and it...

got stupid one day a couple weeks ago and bought this 1953? GMC COE on impulse. didn't really think it thru at the time, not sure what I'm going to do with it yet but it's mine.. 2 speed diff, 471 with supercharger, factory sleeper. everything there and supposedly the 471 does run. searched...

I...

I've got this 26 parked outside if you still need measurments

my shed is maybe 35 by 60 and there's everything from airplane parts to vw motors crammed in it. there's a little trail front to back. this photo was taken right inside the front door and just give a hint of my vast collection of junk I don't need or use but too good to throw away and I might...
