Ann and I decided last night to head for Ohanapecosh near Mt. Rainier on Sunday for a couple days. No reception there means no updates for a couple days. However, I have schedule a few old feature posts to reappear. We’ll be back on Tuesday so there will be some updates at that point.
More Pics From Charles
1952 Fairmont Hy-Rail Wagon Tri-Cities, TN **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Yep, there are four doors on that Fairmont-built Hy-Rail wagon. Rare, rare, rare.
“Very rare 52 Willys 4 door four wheel drive wagon for sale. These were made by Willys for Fairmont Rail corp for use as hy-rail vehicles to carry rail crews and tools to the job site. This is one of only 11 that are still known to exist.
I am selling because of another project that is taking all of my time and money, and want this to go to someone who can help preserve this rare piece of automotive and rail history.
This is a project vehicle and will need a complete restoration. Engine is the Jeep 134 4-cyl ohv and is not stuck. The body is in poor shape, floor pans rusted through, rear floor has spots where it is rusted through. Jeep is complete with the exception of the original seats, had a seat from an unknown donor vehicle when I bought the Jeep in 2012.”

Yale’s Photogrammar Website
Paul’s ‘Goddess’ forwarded me a link about Yale’s Photogrammar website that contains 170,000 photographs from 1935 to 1945 created by the United State’s Farm Security Administration and Office of War Information (FSA-OWI).
One of the neater features shows all the photos mapped by county across the United States. Click here to see it: http://photogrammar.yale.edu/map/
The folks at FSA-OWI also had time to get jeep photos. You’ve likely seen many of them, but there are a few I don’t remember seeing. Here are my jeep search results.
Victory Toy Jeeps from the Netherlands
Jan contacted me about a toy his father picked up in Maastricht (Netherlands) at the end of WWII. He didn’t know the history of the toy and asked if I knew. I didn’t know either, but after some research, I learned this toy was called a victory toy and made in the Netherlands following their liberation in WWII. However, what’s not clear is who manufactured these toys. Was it “Victory Toys” or were these ‘victory toys’ made by a manufacturer not of that name?
You can learn more information at these links:
- Here’s a post with a variety of photos that suggests this is a Victory Toy jeep: http://www.planetdiecast.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=60&id=89324&Itemid=0
- This post also suggests these were made by Victory Toys in the Netherlands http://gobidnow.blogspot.com
- I found a pic associated with that post thanks to google, but the pic no longer shows up on the post: http://g503.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=141270
