Today the four 1956 Willys Newspapers in the mail I won on eBay arrived. There is lots of great stuff, both photos and interesting stories. I’ll be sharing them all in the coming weeks.
This first article from the page seven of the June-July 1956 issue tells the story of a retired couple by the name of Hawkins who readied a caravan for some cross country exploration. At the head of the caravan is a Fleetwood Caddillac. It pulls a camper-trailer that pulls a CJ-3B carrying a boat. Looks like they were ready for anything!
i’d love to see him try to back it up.
he does’t need to . just start the jeep and pull it.
What a great retirement trip, man would I love to hear how this turned out.
15 months in this caravan, before the interstate highway system was completed
must have been a blast.
