June 17th: Escaping Indiana

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images, Willys Wagons • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

We hit our goal on Monday of seeing three car museums in Indiana and enjoying lunch with Steve at an old fashioned diner called Schoops. The downside was . . .  when we tried to leave Indiana, we encountered road construction and blocked traffic (I-80 westbound was standstill). What should have taken an hour and a half took three hours. We went right to bed and just woke up a little bit ago. So, there will likely be no updates today.

However, I do have this neat photo Randy shared. The wagon below may have been one of several (exactly how many we haven’t determined) built by Kaiser for touring Hawaii. Note the four doors, extended bodies, and sun roofs. kaiser-extended-wagon-hawaii-randy-colin

Updates Mid Afternoon

• CATEGORIES: Old Images • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I tried to do some updates last night, but the internet wasn’t cooperating. For lack of any other reason, I’m going to blame the storm.  I think I should be able to do some updates mid afternoon.

Here’s a pic from a Willys News paper that I spotted while visiting with Dave Antram yesterday (thanks Dave!). More on that visit later.

Marc spotted this photo at Flickr. Though it’s listed as a MB, the holes in the bumper suggest GPW to me.

Ed’s Old photos

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Ed wanted to share these pictures. As you can see, he was in quite a pickle with that jeep. The last picture shows his son.

“Thought you might be able to use these. Couple of old photos from the late 60’s. The couple of me standing in front of the jeep in a creek were taken in Turnback Creek outside of Halltown Mo. on our family farm. The one of the jeep in a pond was also from the farm. The one of my son was taken at our home in Ormond Beach Fl. He is learning what a match book cover is properly used for. Yep, you guessed it, setting ignition points on his 67 CJ-5.”
