Vintage Willys pictures

[WV Steve]

Thanks for the pictures in and around Ouray. The "modified jeep" and the one going in front of the Hotel Beaumont appear to be those run by Buddy Davis (on propane) out of Ouray... maybe earlier than 64 though. Brings back memories.

Found this one the other day. Should be about 1978. Has my 66 Chev 402 BB in it as well

Hey Dan, This is a truly great picture. Not only is there the (then) nearly new wagon in Plantation white but if you look at the other side of the fence you can see one of the bronze colored Chrysler Turbine cars! To the left of the photo in front of the 64 Dodge is what I believe to be the tail end of Richard Petty's #43 Plymouth. What a time to be alive. 426 power as far as the eye can see!

Cool, bet you’re right about #43

It seems this picture was taken at Daytona. Here’s another taken at almost the same moment, with the turbine car in the background and the same guy leaning on the fencepost.

Here is yet another picture of the 1964 Daytona 500, and it even includes the Willys!

And here's a family photo of a Willys truck (of unknown ownership) at a logging site somewhere in Humboldt County in Northwestern Coastal California. My Grandpa drove logging trucks after WW II; I found this one in his records:

Eureka Street, Central City, Colorado, 1965:

This is is surreal photo personally for me. It was taken in front of the Gilpin County Courthouse. I was married in that court house in July 1986. The wife is gone but I still have the Willys that brought us there.

Supplement: I also bought Traveller # 09 that was used in the Lost Gold Mine and is located directly under this photo one mile deep down in the earth. When the mine closed in 1987 I bought Traveller #09 after it was raised from the mine to the surface again. It had been under ground for years. Not long after that the town became a gambling town.
