Clarence Kettwich's son Larry stands next to an old farm "jeep" that Clarence made from a 1929 Chevrolet and a Model T Ford truck in the 1930's.

It took Clarence's son Dr. Donald Kettwich of Albequerque, NM 5 years to restore the "jeep" and get it running again.

Farmers built these "jeeps" from old cars and trucks to be used as a utility vehicle to haul grain and do other farm work.

This jeep has a 1929 Chevrolet transmission and a 1931 International transmission. If you put it in double reverse, the jeep goes forward at a very slow and powerful pace.
