SP 3349 |
Description: |
Even as a kid I loved these rusty battered old Geeps. The rusty cab roof, the battered paint job, the from-another-era look of the vents and high hood, and those classic SP jam-packed headlight bundles - I always snapped a shot when I saw one, even if -- like here -- it turned out pretty bad. |
