Vintage Willys pictures

[leiniedude]

Here is another shot of an old CJ from the H.A.M.B.:

Great photo! Some kind of Pan Am Mexico race I guess.

Looks like a wagon or two in a town like New Orleans. Any better ideas? Photo is from the H.A.M.B.


And here's a Jeep APU / starter (I think there was one recently on ewillys.com). Photo is also from the H.A.M.B.:

Loading a supercomputer. Yes, from the H.A.M.B.

Here's a shot of Third Avenue and D Street, Anchorage, Alaska in August 1964 thanks to hemmings.com (originally from Department of the Army, via National Archives). Can you spot the two-tone Willys Wagon? There's an early Wagoneer with the rhino grill there too.

I think this picture is the where's Waldo(willys)? champion.

Here are some FC pictures of Henry Kaiser's Christmas present to his wife, a pink FC-170:

Apparently, Mrs. Kaiser loved the truck. (http://kaiserpermanentehistory.org/latest/ale-kaisers-pink-christmas-truck/)

Here are two shots of a Wagon in Utah, looks like from the 1980s: "A couple pictures of my first Gear Hauling Trailer, the first is going down from the top of Elephant Hill in Canyon Lands National Park. The next shows the articulation of the trailer."

Super cool to see this shot of a wagon on Elephant Hill. We were there last May with Joseph's wagon. Here's the clip of his wagon coming up the same spot where the wagon with the trailer is coming down.

Coming up the backside of Elephant Hill with a trailer must have been a major pucker factor... There's a switchback section that the corners are to sharp to turn on, so you have to traverse one of the stretches in reverse. I wouldn't attempt that with a trailer, since there is no room for mistake. It's steep with stair steps and a serious cliff drop-off...

It is sad to think if I were to jump my JK like they are doing to those Willys it would seriously break stuff!

 

[leiniedude]

Great stuff Dan! Something to be said there about seatbelts and securing your gear. :cheers:
