This is part of a fascinating, product merchandising book that’s being sold in chunks (unfortunately). I’ve bought part of it and another reader has bought a different section. This particular section has 17 pages that covers the Station Wagon.
Here’s 24 pages of the Product Merchandising book that covers the CJ-3B.
If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the newest Holy Toledo Calendars from Bill Norris, Kevin Banonis, and Bob Christy.
On Friday, Ann scheduled a VA appointment in Walla Walla. Making the 45 minute trip there usually entails lunch, a visit to the Bread Company, and then a drive home. However, since I’d never been to Milton-Freewater, Oregon, we decided to extend the trip to include a drive into our neighboring state and return home along the Columbia River.
All was going well, until I asked SIRI to guide us from Walla Walla to Milton-Freewater. While I generally knew that MF was to the south of us, I didn’t know exactly where. So, I gave SIRI a chance to shine. At first she seemed confident, ordering us right, then left, then right, then left, until we were heading south on some rural roads toward the hills.
Soon, we were climbing, first on paved roads, then on gravel roads, then on rocky roads. Yet, SIRI didn’t give up. She continued to have a path mapped out. We assumed it was some kind of short cut. Thankfully, Henry (the jeep) surmounted every obstacle in his path.
Charles spotted this trencher photo at the Jalopy Journal.

MIke spotted this electric four passenger jeep in Key West, Florida. He notes they rent for only $160/24 hours.
Sebastian’s visiting Colombia and took his CJ-3B out for a drive. Here’s a photo from his drive. That wall of stuff behind him is great!
Marc forwarded this great photo.

An article about the Odograph was published in the December, 1944, issue of Popular Science. At 200 pounds, the Odograph auto-created maps as soldiers navigated towards some objective. I couldn’t locate any records that indicate how many were made (anyone know), but there it appears there are nine jeeps that still have them (based on the latest info I could find). I found a few different references about it over at G503.

I’d never heard of the disease. Pilonidal Sinus is called the Jeep Disease or Jeep Seat (and probably others). I’ve taken the following paragraphs below from a Canadian link:
http://www.canada.com/topics/bodyandhealth/men/story.html?id=ac51b5e9-23a4-42c9-be8c-19a55aa0a8dc
“Pilonidal sinus most commonly affects that area known affectionately as the butt crack, though it can show up in the belly button, genital region, even between the fingers. Basically, it’s an infected area under the skin, frequently containing a tuft of hair. Think of it as a nasty, hairy, painful tunnel and you wouldn’t be far wrong. Often it starts with ingrown hairs, although new evidence shows that’s not always the case. There’s a genetic component; it tends to run in families, and it’s more prevalent among hairy guys, and those who sweat a lot.
According to a document co-authored by Prof. Keith Harding, the head of surgery at the University of Wales, the condition is 10 times more common in adult males than in adult females.
Harding notes that it was called “jeep disease” in the Second World War since it affected many soldiers who sat for long periods on hard seats.”

Marc forwarded this ad from a September 1958 Readers Digest (page 75).
This unfortunate policeman fell out of the jeep. I wonder if there were a series of pictures that captured this.

Charles found some jeep pics in the Jalopy Journal archives. This first photo of Edsel Ford in a Ford GP is from Wayne State University.
A reader forwarded these photos taken in northern Canada. Rather than recycled or otherwise utilized, the parts and vehicles were bulldozed over the edge of a hill. As you can see, amongst the debris are some jeeps.
