Buying Tips

Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

1949 Photo of Joe Jackson in his Jeep Wagon on eBay

July 24, 2014 • CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images, Willys Wagons • TAGS: Circus. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The photo of Joe Jackson, Jr., below was published in several different newspapers based on this google search. He must have had a very loving wife to live in a jeep while touring Europe!

According to the article, “Joe is wearing a 64-year-old clown costume that belonged to his late father as he tries out the jeep station wagon he will use for touring Europe. Joe, who carries on a comedy act originated by his father, will use the station wagon for a dressing room and living quarters with his wife.”

1950 Photo of Jeep Junkyard in Okinawa on eBay

I was debating whether this was a cropped version of Carl Mydan’s Life Magazine photo (seen here at Alex’s Tahiti Pacifique site) or a different photo. I am leaning towards it being a different photo as the angle seems a little higher on this one.

O’Laughlin Tracked Vehicle(s)

July 18, 2014 • CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images • TAGS: Tracks. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I happened across this rare set of tracked jeeps made by O’Laughlin (a person or a company?), or it could just be one jeep with successive modifications. I only uncovered a few photos photos and very little information.How experiments on this related to the M-28/M-29 amphibious Weasel are not clear to me, but they appear to have been parallel projects given the Weasel research was begun in 1942.

I found this photo of the tracked jeep at a Cargo & Personnel Carrier site:
http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/UnitedStates/cargo-personnel/cargo-personnel.html

I found a thread on an argentine model site where someone constructed a look-a-like model.
http://kalkin.foros.ws/t12174/olaughlin-modified-jeep/

This could potentially be the same jeep as above, only it’s rear area has been altered. I can’t quite read the numbers on the hood in the top pic to know for sure.

Finally, there’s a page about a tracked jeep at 42FordGPW, but the page never refers to either vehicle as a Modified vehicle. Perhaps someone can add to this info?

Slat Grilles Transporter Photo

July 18, 2014 • CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Paul spotted this photo at the “Just a Car Guy” website. Given at least some of these are Slat Grilles, I’d guess this was taken late 1941 or early 1942?

The hardtop on this looks unusually tall, but the solider looks pretty tall as well. This includes a good shot of the front mud flaps.

1950? Photo of Kachin Tribe and Allies on eBay

July 7, 2014 • CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The date on this photo is January 1950. If so, these guys are part of the fight against China rather than Japan. Therefore this is more likely a WWII photo.

This is a rare mod that you don’t see often. The rear wheel wheel has been covered.

Here’s an odd one. If it is hot enough to cook an egg, it must be really hot for her to be on the hood.
