On the CJ2Apage Facebook site Neil shared a couple jeep photos from the College of the Ozarks in Branson, Missouri. The first is a 1957 FC-150 inside the Tractor Museum.

This photo came from this site: https://cozybegone.wordpress.com/2014/09/04/off-the-beaten-highway-in-branson-missouri/

Neil shared this photo.

There’s also a GPW in the Ralph Foster Museum. In the photos below, the same jeep is shown in two different locations. So, I’m not exactly sure where it is currently located.

Don will be spending the next month traveling through New Mexico and Colorado. Lucky for us, he’s watching for jeeps. He spotted this redone CJ-2A at a Larry H. Miller Jeep-Chrysler-Dodge Ram dealership in Albuquerque. I guess we’ll be stopping in there during our next visit!

Hugo forwarded a link announcing Cite de l’Automobile’s July 25 & 26 Vehicles in Uniform event. The museum is in Paris, France. Even if you decide that’s a little far to travel for the weekend, poking around their website is pretty interesting. It looks like they have an amazing collection.

The United States Transportation Museum in Virginia has a few jeeps. With a 50,000 square-foot building and four outdoor parks there’s plenty of space for vehicles of all types. I’m sure some of you have been here?

I didn’t know this early Belly Flopper was still around. It’s housed at the National Infantry Museum and Soldiers Center in Columbus, Georgia.

This great photo was taken as part of Dick ‘n Debbie’s Travels.

Gerald Colletz spotted this CJ-2A at the Alaska Aviation Museum and submitted it to Four Wheeler Magazine. Check out all the photos here: http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/tech-qa/1501-your-jeep-january-2015/

Here’s another look from the front of the jeep. This photo was taken a few years ago when it was inside.

John shared some pics from the Yelvington Jet Availation‘s Jeep Collection at the Spruce Creek Airport in Florida. It includes the following along with a North American P-51D and various other artifacts.

John took some photos for us from the The 82d Airborne Division War Memorial Museum in North Carolina and National Museum of the Marine Corps in Virginia.

The 82d Airborne Division War Memorial Museum, Fort Bragg, North Carolina:

National Museum of the Marine Corps, Quantico, Virginia:

Anyone know if this jeep is still there? This photo came from this page (though I removed the kids). The photo was take at Omaha Nebraska’s Henry Doorly Zoo.

Anyone get there photo in this CJ-2A yet? It’s located at the Asheboro Zoo in North Carolina. http://www.nczoo.org. This may be located in the kid zone, but I can’t tell for sure.

In 2010 this same jeep was located in a different part of the museum and draped with stuffed animals.

Charles spotted the of photo of this jeep from Lithuania. It turns out the jeep is in the Vilnius Energy and Technology Museum in Vilnius, Lithuania. According to the sign next to it the jeep is a 1943 MB. The facility also appears to have an interesting car collection. You might want to drop by the next time you visit Vilnius.

UPDATE:  There was a report the museum might have closed, but Renee reports it is still open. 

(Originally post was from 2010) In early 2000, Dean Kruse purchased the entire collection of a closed Belgium museum. On September 4, 2000, the groundbreaking ceremony was held for the new 192,000 square foot American Heritage Museum that would house the former Belgian collection on a site in Auburn, Indiana. The museum complex opened in early 2003, with the WWII Victory Museum housed in the south wing of the complex.  Read the entire history here from cybermodeler. This looks like a big place with multiple museums.

Built as a tribute to his father who participated in D-Day invasion of Utah Beach in Normandy, Ron Fagen opened the Fagen Fighters World War II Museum in September of 2012 at his hometown of Granite Falls, MN,  Along with a collection of WWII airplanes, the collection also includes the GPW used by Omar Bradley during the Invasion. I’ve only found this one:

Here’s a neat overview of one diorama taken by Jody Phipps. The jeep isn’t shown.

Dallas Durham recently visited the Silent Wings Glider Museum in Lubbock, TX, and photographed some of the toy jeeps. After searching the internet, I learned that Silent Wings is the official museum of the National World War II Glider Pilots Association. It looks like an interesting place, so when we go through Texas (maybe after the FC-Roundup), we’ll definitely stop there.

Here are a few links related to Silent Wings.

They have at least one jeep. I’ve seen a photo of the jeep inside the glider and outside, so I can’t guarantee how it is currently presented. Here are photos published on the Jurgen Chronicles of it outside the glider:

Here are Dallas’ photos of the toys:

Bob spotted this MB at the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. As he noted, the dents make this look a bit beat up.

Travelphotobase.com not only had a couple of additional photos of the jeep, but it had a ton of other nice photos from the museum: http://travelphotobase.com/u/OH/OHVHA.HTM
