“Well folks, the time has come, gonna let go of one of my toys. I just ain’t got the time no more, hasn’t been used in two years or more. It is a 1948 Willy’s Jeep. It is a CJ-2 so don’t let the paint job fool ya, although there are only cosmetic differences between the CJ (civilian market) and the MB (military market), it is not actually a military Jeep. Though the original in-line 4 cylinder “Go Devil” motor and running gears are all basically the same as the military version. It don’t go fast (top end of about 52 mph) but it goes like a goat in the rough stuff. These pictures are to let ya see what it is. It is not a museum piece, it does have some rusty spots that could be dressed up.

This is a real nice useable toy that I had a blast with. It is a licensable vehicle, which means you can run up and down fire trails or forestry roads without worrying about Mr. Forestry man raising hell, or taking your ride like a four wheeler or Razor. This jeep also comes with a Roll Bar, a 10,000 lb electric winch that is set up to work from the front or back while operated from the divers seat, a tow bar (very easy to tow) so you can get it to your favorite riding location faster than driving it there. And 2 manuals 1) Repair & 1) Master Parts List. In hand title, so first $5,200.00 takes it home. Or make me a reasonable offer, but please don’t waste either of our times by trying to low ball it. Come get a real piece of Americana”

This collection of wood cars owned by Gary and Jean was just stunning!

Day 10: On Tuesday we drove from Suwanee, Georgia, to Harlem Georgia, then on to Charleston.

2018-05-08-suwanee-charleston-map

Our drive from Suwanee, Georgia, to Charleston, South Carolina.

We didn’t expect any surprises today when we left Tuesday morning for the Laurel & Hardy Museum (or on Facebook) in Harlem, Georgia. The drive took a couple hours.

We arrived to find a modest building with signage starting at the Interstate making the museum easy to find.

2018-05-08-laurel-hardy-museum2

Inside the museum we met Gary, a long-time Laurel and Hardy fan originally from Minnesota. The move to Harlem, Georgia, was specifically due to the museum. To say he’s a big fan might be an understatement; I’d wager he’s there number one fan.

2018-05-08-laurel-hardy-museum3

Given the volumes of Oliver & Hardy merchandise, it wasn’t too surprising that I even found a couple jeeps in the mix:

Knardly Rolls Sees the Light of Day

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

Paul ceremonially rolled Knardly Rolls out of the garage on Monday.

2018-05-07-knarly-rolls0-lores

Knardly Rolls seen peeking out of the garage, wondering if it’s safe.

He writes, “Today (May 7th) I opened the garage door and then removed two of the four insulated panels positioned against the outer surface of the garage door so there would be enough room to move the little Willys from the dark garage and into the May sunshine. I quickly learned I need sun glasses. Most of the body has a brushed pattern on the stainless steel but even brushed stainless is rather reflective when the sun is shining. I’m real glad I didn’t polish the body, that would have been blinding on a sunny day.

The little Willys has been moved into the connex where I’ll fuel it up, check for leaks and see if the engine will start. Once the engine runs well I’ll support the Willys with jack stands and begin testing the operation of the transmission and axles.

2018-05-07-knarly-rolls1-lores

However, before I begin any ground running I’m going to repaint the interior of the garage. The last time I painted the garage was 30 years ago so new paint is long overdue.

Anyway, here’s a photo of the little Willys escaping from the garage. It was a whole different perspective for me since the small garage only allowed me close up views but once it was outdoors I was able to back away and get a view of the entire Jeep. Quite different from what I’m used to.

I’m still having a hard time believing the little Willys is finally done but seeing it outdoors makes it seem more real.”

• CATEGORIES: M-38A1 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD**

“Selling an October 1953 M38A1 in solid condition / excellent restoration possibilities. 24-volts, comes with new batteries, new gaskets, hoses, and a bunch of parts, although most of those parts were the original ones that were taken off when newer ones were installed. There are a couple small spots on the passenger side that have old repairs that could use a skim of filler to refresh them (see photo below, beneath the battery compartment and just below slave receptacle dish), but sheet metal is in great condition and no panels need replacement or major repairs. The serial number is right at the change-over from Gen 1 to Gen 2. This jeep has the hinged grill and thumb screw battery cover so it’s one of the last of the first-generation M38A1s. Awesome Korean War / Vietnam piece of military history.”

1947 Empire Tractor Hanover, NH **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Other 4x4s • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.

1947-empire-tractor-hanover-nh

“The Empire tractor consisted of military power components from World War II-era jeeps. It had a 4-cylinder, 40 hp Willys-Overland engine, a Model T-84 Spicer 3-speed transmission, Spicer transfer case with high and low speeds, Willys rear end, steering column and gearbox. It also had PTO, individual clutch-type rear brakes with a stop provided for parking and a rear belt pulley. The fuel tank and an Empire-style seat were mounted on a large operator’s platform (made from Navy ship decking). Its simple, basic gauges (ammeter, oil pressure and temperature), ignition switch and starter button also came from the jeep. The Empire tractor was originally made for exportation in the Lend-Lease Program after World War II.

If I had to mention a couple of things that made the Empire Tractor really unique, one would be the straight bar hitch that pulled from under the center of the tractor (patented) thus making an overturn nearly impossible. The other selling point was, of course, the Willys engine and drive train made famous in the Jeep during World War II. The Empire was a well equipped tractor, very reliable and versatile with its wide range of speeds. Today this tractor draws a lot of attention at shows and is very sought after by collectors commanding higher than average prices. “.

2018-05-07-jeep-collection-blake-david

Blake showing me around Omix-Ada’s Jeep Collection.

Day 9: On Monday we had the chance to see the “Jeep Collection”, then we returned to our hotel for a long nap. We feel recharged and ready for our exploration of South Carolina today. Here’s a map of our upcoming travels for May 8 – May 10:

may8-may10-trip

We’ll be spending the night of May 8th in Charleston, May 9th in Greenville (or somewhere there-abouts), and May 10th in Asheville.

Monday was intended to be a day of rest. Our goals for the day were to A) see some jeeps, B) take a nap, C) wash some clothes, and D) catch up on eWillys. I dare say the day was a success, especially the four-hour midday nap!

At 9am we arrived at the doors of Omix-Ada to Al Azadi’s Jeep Collection. Rather than lock the doors and hide (we can be scary in the mornings), they allowed us inside. One of the cool things we noticed right away about the building’s lobby are the full-wall photos of vintage jeeps that begin with WWII and march forward in history. Moreover, the exterior windows also had overlays, though the morning sun limited our ability to see what was there. There was no mistaking that we’d entered a world of vintage jeeps!

The lobby also had a few of the Jeep Collection’s jeeps, but in our exuberance to see the larger collection in another part of the building, we forgot to take pictures of both the lobby and the lobby’s collection. We failed!

Because Dave Logan, my contact at Omix-Ada, had a pre-arranged trip to Canada, Tyler and Blake walked us over to the area that housed the bulk of the jeeps. There, Blake let us wander around and take pictures. In my semi-sleep deprived stupor (I’d been up until 2am the night before), I spent more time talking to Blake about my books than I did taking pictures of the jeeps.

2018-05-07-jeep-collection1

Blake patiently listening to my stories.

Fortunately for you all, Ann was there and she made sure to take more than 150 photos. And, as I look at the photos for this post just now, I see there were some cool photos on the walls above the jeeps in this area, too, many from press photos we’ve seen over the years. I truly did not see these while I was in there looking at the jeeps. I definitely must have needed more sleep!!

2018-05-07-wall-photos12 2018-05-07-wall-photos1

Most of you have probably seen photos of the collection, but for those that haven’t, the collection lines the walls and windows of the entire space.
