I hope every has a happy father’s day. I’ll be enjoying it by taking the day off. Here’s a few old pics of Dad from the Wandering Willys Jeep Club Scrapbook. I don’t know the history behind any of them.

Looks like he has antifreeze in one hand and kerosene or gas in the other. Since he was wearing a hard hat, maybe the club was cutting trees for some reason? Circa mid 1970s?

I think this was a pancake feed at the Region 1 play day circa 1981. I don’t remember that hat.

Maybe 1970? Looks to me like he’s woken up after drinking. He has that hangover look, which is something I never remember him having. Maybe taken at the Beverly Sand Dunes. That’s my sister on his lap.

Dad’s not in this pic, but I thought I’d post it anyway. It’s a photo from about 1980. I think we are above Cle Elum here, but I couldn’t swear to it.

    Thank you for sharing that, and everything else. I check your page daily. I own a 2005 Wrangler, but I’m looking for a 42-49 willys. I have faith that my future jeep will most likely be led to me through you. Thanks again

    Steven, your faith is well-placed: eWillys (Dave) has led me to my first FOUR flat fender jeep purchases 🙂
