Hand made Jeep in Sparta, Ontario, Canada

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

Mark spotted this unique jeep in a gift shop in Sparta, Ontario, Canada. He also spotted the motorcycle.

He writes, “These are hand made displays. I thought that they were very interesting. However, priced between $50.00 & $100.00, I declined my temptations. I felt that the money would be better spent on maintaining my jeep.”

Probably a good idea Mark 🙂

One more fantastic photo.

“Hi, and welcome! Thanks for stopping by. You are looking at a 5×7 photograph printed on FujiFilm Crystal Archive emulsion paper depicting three GI’s of the 9th Armored Division’s 656th Tank Destroyer Battalion catnapping in their jeep somewhere on the road to Holzengel, Germany on April 11, 1945. These guys must have been absolutely smoked from the fast, non-stop advance into the Reich to be able to rack out three abreast in a Jeep. Anyone who has ever sat in a Jeep knows that they were not built for comfort. :)”
