Roger Martin and his Father Jim “Pee Wee” Martin in the Netherlands

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

UPDATE: Roger called me to provide a little additional info. First, the “young lady” with whom Jim is shaking hands is actually the Prime Minister of Defense for the Netherlands. Apparently, there were numerous other dignitaries and security was tight. 

I’m taking a break for the night, but don’t worry. Roger Martin and his father Jim “Pee Wee” Martin have been busy in the Netherlands. Roger’s father was invited over to participate in some WWII events and visit numerous museums. I can’t say exactly which photos go with which musuem, but they are still interesting to look at. Thanks for all the photos Roger!

Rusty’s Windshield

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

I had a chance this past week to begin taking apart the windshield. The windshield frame has only surface rust, so that’s a relief, but it does have two cracks. One crack should be easily fixed, but the other is on the arm. It is complete severed except for the cables(?) on the inside. This will be a little more of a challenge. Here are some photos:

1953 CJ-3B Plymouth, MA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.

It’s an ex-Forest Service jeep.

“1953 Willys CJ3B Jeep. Jeep was formally a US Forestry Service Fire Jeep in South Dakota. It has spent its entire life garaged and only has 7,000 miles on the odometer. It is completely original except for changes made by US Forestry service. The original green paint is showing through some areas were the fire truck red has oxidized. There is zero rust on this Jeep. The frame still shows original black paint.

I have done some resurrection work since I’ve owned it. Major items include: seals and gaskets on transmission and transfer case, rear main seal, clutch disk and pressure plate, radiator re-core, brake drums and shoes, knuckle seals, carburetor rebuild, fuel tank and sending unit, hoses, water pump, points, cap, rotor, coil, battery, generator rebuild. I have heaps of spare parts (repro and NOS) that will go with it. Price is firm, no offers please. This is a real “time warp” machine and I hope the new owner will preserve it as it is.”

1945 MB Livermore, CA $4650

• CATEGORIES: MB This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

it’s sitting in front of a 4×4 shop in Livermore.

“This is a 1945 Willys MB flat fender jeep. The jeep is currently the centerpiece out in front of The 4 x 4 Shop in Livermore California. The jeep is far from perfect but was a runner when parked between the poles a year and a half ago. The jeep is currently registered in California though the photos show it with the New Mexico plate and it still wears its original data plates on the glove box door as well as the data plate on the frame. The paint job was done with the rattle cans for the grand opening of the store, and has been written on by hundreds of children with a sharpie marker . It’s actually a pretty entertaining peace . But unfortunately I am purchasing a new Willys shop truck so one of them has to go . The phone number listed is for the store and our store hours are Monday through Friday 9 to 6 and Saturday 9 to 3 . Or feel free to email and I’ll respond as soon as possible . The jeep will remain between the poles until a deal is struck .”
