Willys back then pic thread

Got a period shot of my uncle's CJ3 (I think it is a 3) around here somewhere! Be back soon!

Also trying to score original shots of my '58 since I got it from the Orig Owner, no luck so far!

 

Here's some other cool stuff in the meantime:

 

Err, nope. 404.

 

404 you can't see the pix??

Let's try this

 

And thanks for your patience, here is my uncle and his Jeep away back in the day:

 

And heres one more ad;

 

^Dig the whitewalls!!

 

yeah me too, i think the top shot is after he painted it and bottom is before...as if you all couldn't tell..and no idea what is up with the bumper addition in the top pic.
My dad also had a 1948 Jeepster when i was a kid but the pix of that are all on slides......hmm....

 

My dad was in the 20th AD in WWII. Here are some division photos I scanned.

The 20th AD trained at Ft. Knox, KY before going to Europe. The first two photos were taken at Ft. Knox.


The next shot is at the POE in La Harve, France.


This is an overnight stop in NW France heading for Germany.

"Bed Check Charlie" was introduced to the Division near Hanau, Germany. He buzzed the Division area each evening at dusk for three days.

 

Not a great pic, but in the garage is my Dads 57 cj5 in the summer of 69

 

Any information on the "Jeep Widetrac" ?? I have never seen anything like it before - looks like it might have been based on an FC-170 Dually platform.......

 

its all true!

 

Those are GREAT Howard! Man the COMPLETELY NEW CJ5 ad Jeep looks just like mine. GOT to get my spare carrier installed! And those tires!!!

 

This is my cousins 1952 CJ-3A, bought used by his dad in 1953, and been in the family ever since...The airplane is a 1953 Cessna 180 that belongs to a neighbor...this picture could easily have been taken in '53...but it wasn't..
