This Willys wagon was built by an older couple to enjoy fishing. Maybe it is just the camera perspective, but it sure looks like there is plenty of room inside. When the couple decided they were done using it, they sold it the author of this blog: http://rockhopperfishing.com/sleepinginthedunes1963/

CJ-2A Accident Photo on eBay
Steve spotted this odd photo. My question is, did the jeep back into the wall and then get lifted up? Or did it somehow hit it from the outside?
“This lot is for two 5″x7″ black and white original photos of a Willys Jeep somehow attached to a barn door…not sure if this is intentional or by accident. Appears to be a 1957 Ford in the background. See photos for condition. Please be sure to view my other listings as well! Thank you for looking.”

Paul’s ‘Goddess’ forwarded me a link about Yale’s Photogrammar website that contains 170,000 photographs from 1935 to 1945 created by the United State’s Farm Security Administration and Office of War Information (FSA-OWI).
One of the neater features shows all the photos mapped by county across the United States. Click here to see it: http://photogrammar.yale.edu/map/
The folks at FSA-OWI also had time to get jeep photos. You’ve likely seen many of them, but there are a few I don’t remember seeing. Here are my jeep search results.
