Sorry, it is an Army jeep, but these were not the numbers I found on this
particular jeep. When I got it, some previous owner had already blasted and
painted it robin egg blue. I could find no hint of previous numbers.

I got the numbers by freeze framing an original war footage picture from a
PBS documentary about the Korean war. The numbers appeared to be very clear,
but if you say there never was a 90th Field Artillery unit?????

Thanks for your reply, and to everyone else whose helped me through this
restoration. I'll try to get some good pictures up in the next few weeks for
all to see.
