It's not my jeep doing it over for a friend, and from what I was told it was given to the french Gov. by the US Gov. So that is all I can Tell you, and thanks
Well, it's quiet strange, because I've never heard about any translation in French of these plates, exept for the M201 model (then it's one big full-french plate). As the plates says "Ministére des Armées" (Army's Ministry), I guess there are post-war.
If you see "WOF" on any part, it means that it's a "Willys-Overland France" part : "made in france" (post-war).
It could help you to know that if you want to restore it as a full US parts Jeep.
But I think you should let every parts, french or american (after restoration), where they are. Because I can tell you this Jeep has something of special...
appropriate song but ide put a strait 6 or v6 in the jeep i have a cj5 with a v6 buik motor

Well... I noticed that the plates are in French at 1:21 ...
Is it a Hotchkiss M201 (Willys MB built under license in France) ? How did she come in the States ?
I'm very curious to know more about that...
Good luck anyway in your restoration.
