1942 Photo of Jeep Test Driven into Fuselage on eBay

October 2, 2019 • CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

To me, what’s most interesting about this photo is that the men are using a test fuselage.

“1942 Press Photo Airborne Infantry handling Jeeps via aeroplane, Washington, DC. This is an original press photo. Trucks – United State. Washington, D.C. Members of The Airborne Infantry acquire great skill in handling of “Jeeps” via aeroplane. Here are men of The Airborne Infantry practicing placing a “Jeep” in an aeroplane and removing it. The aeroplane fuselage “Mockup” is exact scale of an actual aeroplane. Sent A and O list Chicago to west coast. Photo measures 8.5 x 6.75 inches. Photo is dated 2-28-1942.”

1955 CJ-5 Bloomfield, NM SOLD

October 2, 2019 • CATEGORIES: CJ5 • TAGS: Stock. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.

This CJ-5 has the early 0-10 King Seeley speedometer. I think this has a great, vintage feel to it.

“For sale is my 1955 Willys CJ5 Half Cab. Mostly original.
4 cylinder, manual transmission (3 spd)
4 wheel drive
Tow bar
Tow hitch
Solid sheet metal, no rust through
6V battery system
Fender mounted spare tire
Gas can mount. (no can included)

Runs, drives, and just about everything works except for the speedometer.

Very off road capable. I’ve had this in the hills a number of times. Tight turn radius.
Would make a great hunting vehicle.

If the ad is still up, I have not received cash for it and it is available. Please don’t just email me and ask if “Is this available?” I will not respond.

If you have specific questions, please send me your phone number and I will call you and try to answer them the best that I can.”

It’s a project. Obviously, the seller is incorrect about the CJ-3B productions years (should state 53-69).

“Straight from an island off the coast (now on the mainland) is a 1953 Willy’s Jeep.

Based on the description, I’m guessing the seller knows very little about jeeps. No pics provided.

https://nmi.craigslist.org/cto/d/roscommon-willys-jeep-1951-cj-3b/6986396352.html

“This Korean War Era Jeep is in excellent restored condition. One piece windshield. Flat front.

1949 Article on the Bountiful Jeep Posse

October 1, 2019 • CATEGORIES: Features, Magazine • TAGS: Jeep-Posse. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I took a chance on eBay and bought a 1949 issue of the Goodyear’s Magazine for Men off of ebay that mentioned, in the ebay ad, about having an article on a Jeep Posse. The magazine turned out to be a sort-of marketing piece by Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company focused on men and with several interesting articles. Below you’ll find two articles from the magazine and a quiz.

The first article is a pretty early article on Utah’s Bountiful Jeep Posse. The other article covers a man named John Fordon and his business in New York City called “Beck ‘n Call”. Finally, the Fordon article includes a quiz on streets from around the country, names as relevant to day as they were back in 1949.

And now, the article on Fordon. Also, note the “Where are they” quiz.

I’ve seen this wagon around town a couple times.

https://kpr.craigslist.org/cto/d/kennewick-1951-jeep-station-wagon/6989064203.html

“This cute Willys station wagon is a fun car with 3-speed column shift, overdrive and 2-wheel drive. No air conditioning, power steering or power brakes were available.

It is good looking, with no significant scratches, dings or rust. The paint, chrome and interior are good, it runs great and the ride is very pleasant.

Headlights, brake lights, turn signals, gauges, doors, windows and locks all work well, and she has new tires, brakes, kingpins and radiator. The engine starts easily cold or hot, the transmission shifts smoothly and she will cruise at 60 on the freeway, but is not allowed out in rain or snow.”
