Carson City’s New Tourism FJ-3

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

Joel Dunn wanted to share photos of Carson City Board of Tourism’s newly redone FJ-3.

He writes, “I wanted to share some pics of Jays 1961 FJ3 that Carson City purchased as a project to celebrate Nevada 10th birthday on October 31, 2014. Willy participated in the Las Vegas parade on Friday the 31st and then at the Nevada Day parade in Carson City on Saturday November 1st. Willy was the hit of both parades and will now start appearing at tourism, travel and hospitality shows a cross the Western United States. Soon to come is a killer sound system and LED monitors.”

1944 Color Photo from France

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

Taken by Life Magazine photographer Frank Scherschel, I found this photo at the picturesdotblog site. Note the use of the parking brake! Also note the “press” sign on the front of the jeep. Do you suppose the wire cutter on the front of the press jeep was cut so that it wouldn’t interfere with photos?

It appears the August 1946 issue of Fortune Magazine has an interesting Willys Overland article.

“This complete Fortune magazine is in really nice original condition. The cover has no edge tears or creases, but there is a scuff on the right and bottom edges. The lower left edge shows minor scuffs. The illustration is vivid against a clean background.

The spine has minor scuffs at the top and bottom. The magazine is still securely bound. As I thumb thru this magazine, the inside pages appear clean with no tears, creases or dog eared corners. The back cover has no edge tears or creases. The illustration is vivid against a nice and clean background.”
