I ran across these photos today posted by a guy who grew up in the Skyway Cliffhangers Jeep Club, a club based in my hometown of Renton. The photos below highlight the kinds of paint jobs I remember back in the 1970s. As a kid, part of the fun of going to playdays and jeep conventions was to see all the different paint schemes (colors, designs, and accents), tires choices, cage architecture, engine experimentations, and other modifications. You can see lots of old PNW Jeeping photos here:

Bernd’s CJ-5 Gets Little Rest
Bernd was busy with his CJ-5 again in Austria last weekend. First, he delivered an armchair to his mother-in-law.
Then, he joined a group of vintage cars and machinery at and annual get-together https://zw-oldtimer.at/ , where Bernd acted as a mobile toolbox (and appears to have delivered a passenger tram car). He also helped lay 200m of train track and, on Sunday, acted as a conductor.
Below is the tram and some volunteers.
Jeep and Anti-Tank Gun Horse Jump
Tremaine shared a photo of the updated jump at a horse event in Yelm (Yelm is minutes south of Joint Base Lewis Mccord, so the military theme makes sense). Four years ago it was the fake jeep that was a horse jump. Now, it’s a Jeep jump and an Anti-Tank gun jump.
1947 CJ-2A Mather, CA $6950

http://willysforsale.com/ads/1951-willys-m38-mc-jeep/
“1951 Willys M38 MC Jeep
We got it from grandfather’s estate.
He drove it around his farm, parades, etc.
It was parked in his barn around 25 years ago.
It was running properly at that time.
We trailered it home and took it to a mechanic friend.
He got it running and driving.
He said it now runs pretty good. (sounds fine to me)
He and his grandson were driving it around his farm.
I drove it a couple of miles. (fun, but I prefer fast toys)
It it titled in MN, now in our name.
It still needs
1) brake work (brakes are functional but weak)
2) mechanic said slight grinding noise coming from rear. I didnt hear it, but trust my friend.
It has a removable soft top/doors.
We bought a replacement OEM Willys metal gas tank for it
(the original tank is solid but has some buildup inside)
I have video of the engine running, and me driving it.”
