Charles shared this vintage card. The translation is “the war bride”.

1948 Photo from China with Willys Truck on eBay
Marc found this unusual Willys export truck with extra carrying capacity. I thought it was a refrigeration unit of some kind, but the side reads “Pocket Testament Leage”. Maybe it is a variant of the Sprecksell body (see brochure in post below).
“Vintage 1948 Real Picture Post Card of two Chinese men from the Pocket Testament League posing with a Willys Jeep Panel truck or van. The condition is good with some loss to the front…you still get the idea. Great addition to any collection.”

Postcard w/ Jeep in Pensacola, Florida
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This early 1950s postcard from Pensacola, Florida, shows a CJ-2A or CJ-3A turning onto Palafox Street, which was a main drag (still is?). I’ve not been to Pensacola . . . yet. Ann would like to do a drive down to the Florida Keys and back. We are probably a year or two away from that trip.
“THIS IS A NICE EARLY POSTCARD SHOWING DOWNTOWN PENSACOLA, FLORIDA, ON PALAFOX STREET FROM A LONG TIME AGO. I SEE THE RHODES BUILDING AND THEATER ON THE RIGHT, AND I CAN ALMOST MAKE OUT THE MARQUEE, BUT PARTS OF IT ARE NOT THERE. I SEE A HUGE BUILDING ON THE LEFT, WHICH OBVIOUSLY WAS A HOTEL,”
