United Nation Flat Fender Photos

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

I have tried to do some searches for United Nation jeeps, but never had much luck. Apparently, Charles had much more luck. I would expect that most, if not all of these, are Hotchkiss made.

1984 DJ-5 Cortez, CO **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: DJ-5 & DJ-6 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1250.

Runs and drives, but has a few issues.

“This DJ-5 runs and has fairly good tires. The body is in fair shape for its age, with normal wear and tear, like some dents, minor rust, mail box scratches, etc. Comes with mail tray. Fairly new battery.

It needs some work (uses about a quart oil/day; cooling system has small water leak – maybe hose, not sure; brakes pull to one side – maybe just needs bleeding, or new master cylinder, not sure; windshield is cracked; left-side rear window popped out – can easily be fixed; transmission sometimes jumps out of gear – don’t think it’s serious, probably a simple linkage fix, but not sure). [The pics are from a few months ago – more recent photos available on request]”

(12/15/2014) Someone can use these parts.

“This is a 1942 Ford Jeep GPW general purpose Willys.The serial number on fire wall indicates that the year of manufacture was June 1942. This is the complete body except grill and handles. Obviously there is no drive train as shown in the pictures. The rims are aftermarket. These are parts left over from a restoration.

I wanted to get 250 for the hood, 40 each for each fender, for the tub I wanted 400, the windshield I want 100. For the four rims and tires I want 40 bucks. This of course is a project, and you should look at the pictures carefully. This is a cash deal no deliveries. If the ad is up then the item is still for sale.

The First Jeep by Paul Bruno

• CATEGORIES: Bantam-FordGP-WillysMA-EarlyJPs, Books, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Last month I learned about Paul Bruno’s new book, The First Jeep.  “The First Jeep” is the initial release in Bruno’s Project Management in History series which will continue to investigate the entrepreneurial lessons that can be learned from compelling historical projects.

I’d planned to read it and report on it, but my time this month has disappeared (where did it go??), so I haven’t had a chance to read it yet. However, I wanted to make sure I mentioned the book in case anyone wanted to order it. As soon as I get done reading it, I’ll update the post with my thoughts. I have thumbed through it and learned that it’s got both early jeep history coupled with a parallel discussion of lessons to be learned form Bantam’s experience.

Canadian Dodge/Jeep Dealer Getting its ‘Ritz’ On

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

Mike forwarded this interesting video. You may remember the post last month about the jeep that was ‘buried’. It turns out the dealer has a much broader and interesting story. Due to the tight dealer competition, Bay King Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has chosen to create a unique customer experience to differentiate themselves from their Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, competitors. As my wife put it, many dealerships you walk into give you the predator/prey feeling. Bay King’s approach will appeal to a lot of folks.

The slow paced video includes a look at the jeep burial as well.
