Hi John
When I look at the CFR on the EDR viewer, it shows as having been disposed of back in 1982, so I would suggest that it has been retained in a semi-official capacity. The one here in Shilo is held as a museum artifact, but is still called out for military parades on base as well as transporting the base commander (and Juno, the army mascot) during other events.
Neat to see that your vehicles CFR has not been overwritten, and that the Jeep had managed to remain CFR'd from 1953 right until 1982.
The EDR viewer shows it as a 1953 Ford M38. Is the jeep a flat fendered M38 or a M38A1CDN? The serial number given in the EDR almost makes it look like it's a M38A1, as does the year of the CFR. That said, there were a lot of errors transcribed into the computer system from back then. Quite frankly, they may not have been as picky as a collector.
