“You are looking at an 8×10 non-original photograph printed on FujiFilm Crystal Archive emulsion paper depicting a 4th Armored Division Jeep swerving around a burning German truck on a road outside of Worms, Germany in March 1945. The Jeep was carrying the 66th Armored Field Artillery Battalion CO, LTC Neil M. Wallace.”
It looks posed, but it’s still a good shot.

Charles didn’t mention how many of these photos were from europe, but a few are particularly interesting.

Alex, who directs Tahiti-Pacifique Magazine, forwarded these two photos.
For unknown reasons, the driver of this DUKW (thanks Bob) must have had quite a drive!
Alex writes, “Photo of 1954 peace treaty delegation between the French and the Vietminh. The French army used mostly US WW2 surplus equipment in that war. The US took over after the 1954 defeat, Indochina became Vietnam, the Vietminh became Vietcong and the issue was the same 20 years later. “
Charles forwarded these photos.

“1949 Press Photo Kenneth Beech in Toy Jeep, Cleveland, Ohio”
She looks pretty happy with the Bantam.
“from soldiers photo album, no locations, though some from Louisiana maybe (car with 1941 license plate at barracks, Dr Pepper sign, ) & Oregon marked on one & one photo had Wisconsin on it.”
This is a great photo of an Italian Campagnola.

That top looks in good shape. It appears to be a Body V7 Works Top
“Original 35mm film slide.
Subject: USAF airman and Willys Jeep.

Marc spotted this photo. The caption indicates this was the 150th jeep, but the details on the reverse side of the photo confirm it was the 150,000th jeep, which makes more sense.

The seller describes this as a prototype CJ-2A, but it looks more like a VEC CJ-2A.
“Original Vintage Snapshot Photo Young Man w/ RARE CJ2A Prototype Jeep & Trailer dated 1947”
Neat photo.
