Truck Trend article on the Rubicon Trail

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

One of our stops will be in Georgetown, CA, to see the Jeep Jamboree hometown. I’m not quite sure if we’ll see much at all, but we’ll be close enough that I gotta go.

Here’s a Truck Trend article that includes a variety of vintage Jamboree jeeping photos. Most appear to be downloadable in high resolution, too.

1944 Photo of Fritz the Goat on eBay

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

Marc spotted this goat on a jeep. Who would have thought that? Rather than Fritz, I’m thinking that is Francine . . . or that isn’t milk. Yikes!

“1944- Members of a U.S. mortar platoon in “frontline German town” line up before “Fritz”, standing on top of a jeep, and hold out their tin cups for their ration of goat’s milk.”

This old photo is interesting. I think that’s a newer Hotchkiss in the front with an older jeep (Hotchkiss?) in the rear.
