Check out what’s left of the jeep behind the nice looking jeep. Must have been a story there . . .
Marc found this fascinating photo. The description explains these jeeps were part of ‘Operation Roll Up’, a plan to gather up jeeps left in the Pacific Islands during WWII.
“This is an original press photo. Dept- US Army Service Corps, Credit – ACME & NEAPhoto measures 9 x 7.25inches. Photo is dated 03-18-1952.”
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.

Here’s a pure utility custom wrecker from WWII.
“1945- U.S. troops sit in the “jeep wrecker” they created and with which they tow in jeeps that have run into trouble on the Western Front.”
Buz forwarded this photo from the East Carolina University archives. The photo is dated June 09, 1962, and shows National Guard vehicles from Pitt County, NC.
Looks cold.
“You are bidding on an original 7 x 9 press photo of Tokyo Japan Army Jeeps at 5th Air Force HQ, covered in snow as the heaviest snow in more than 20 years blanketed Tokyo. Photographer Tom Shafer. Dated 2/12/1946.”
Here’s a few wide ranking pics from Charles.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

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.”
UPDATE: This was taken in Chicago, IL.
“LARGE 1956 Press Photo Edward Sikorski Uses Plow Jeep Clear Driveway Austin. This is an original press photo. And GunnisonPhoto measures 12 x 10.25inches. Photo is dated 02-02-1956.”
This old photo is interesting. I think that’s a newer Hotchkiss in the front with an older jeep (Hotchkiss?) in the rear.
I’m surprised there’s no date stamp along with the description.
“This Fine Photo features American Jeeps as they pass over a US PONTOON BRIDGE in the New Guinea Jungle during WORLD WAR II, the troops are loaded with military supplies as they advance toward their ALLIES to aid against the fight with the JAPANESE.”
UPDATE: I had mistakenly labeled this a BRC-40. Craig corrected me.
Neat photo with caption. The Associated Press labels it a Blitz Buggy.
