Colorized photo of a Philippine "jeep" in the Bimnondo area, a Chinese commercial community.

Filipino ingenuity after the war led to the widespread conversion of several Chrysler Jeep transport abandoned by the U.S, forces after liberating Manila from the Japanese in 1945.  Pictured here colorized is a unique but odd-looking "Jeep" that used the cowling of a 1939 American Bantam speedster modified into a jeepney and plying the San Nicholas route in Binondo, 1949.
