I don't know who did the restoration but it's a beauty. It isn't the rarest piece though. They have four Prototype Lightweight Jeeps that were built for the 1943 Glider Program and they're each the only ones built. They scrapped the Glider Program. These four Jeeps are what blew Bob and his cameraman away the most.

I concentrated on display cases more than anything today. Just so much cool small stuff in them. Some didn't turn out too well due to the overhead lights reflecting on the glass but there are still several that did turn out.
