Jeep Cartoon on Stationary
Just one update tonight . . . Feeling bogged down by winter (I think this cartoon I found on some stationary captures that feeling)? Well, don’t despair, because spring is just around the corner (for most of us)! It’s now March! Yippee!
2 Ford GPs in Burma during WWII
Here’s a set of Ford GPs in Burma during WWII. The photo is from the June 08, 1942, issue of Life Magazine. The article, “Flight from Burma” on page 30, is a fascinating tale of the desertion of the Rangoon, as told by George Rodger, the photographer pictured in the photo with the two Ford GPs below.

“I’m selling my 1958 Jeep Willys Wagon. I have put so much into this Jeep, I think it’s one of the better buy’s for this price to be found. This Jeep is NOT 100% restored, but I drive this Jeep just about everyday. I am at a point where I need to start putting my money into my “new” house. I bought this Jeep for $2,000 as a rust bucket in 2010 (rust free jeep now, as I have cut out all rust and welded in new metal parts). I have put over $15,000 into this Jeep since then and am only looking to get half my money back. If you have any questions please email me. If you live around St. Louis, MO come take a look/drive. If you live far away, I can pick you up from the airport if you like. I would never buy a car without driving/looking at it first. However, if you’re not able to make the trip and still want it, please asking me anything and I’ll do my best to answer. I have a lot more parts into this but have only listed a few that total $7,128.76, plus the $2,000 I paid for the Jeep to illustrate the value of my asking price. Remember, if you did this yourself… you would have to install all the parts (transmission, L-226) or pay to have someone do the work for you…the prices listed are just the prices for the parts. I have been to three Jeep willys salvage yards (Montana, Vermont, New York) to find most of the parts. This has been a three year, round the country search to make this Jeep what it is today. Happy Bidding.
