as i walked past this jeep down by the river this afternoon i overheard a man explaining how he used to ride in a jeep like this in vietnam. he told the woman he was with (and me, because i am nosy) that it was so hot there they always rode with the top off, so the vc would put wires across the roads to clothesline the soldiers. they added the vertical metal bar on the front of the jeep because of this- if you look closely there's a notch in it to cut the wire. no explanation for the child seat in the back though.
