1960 Wagon Traveller? and Truck Hilt, OR $800

• CATEGORIES: Willys Wagons • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Dan believes the wagon might be a traveller. It looks to have sliding side windows, while the Parkway Conversion’s side windows were always fixed flush mount whereas the Traveller could have either.

“I have too many projects and must part with these. The wagon is a 1960. It does not have a motor or transmission. The pickup is a 1957, runs, and has a working PTO winch. Both vehicles would come with a bill of sale. Thanks for looking”

1962 Canyonlands Trip to film “The Sculptured Earth”

Frazier discovered these 1962 Canyonlands trip photos within the digital archives of the University of Utah. He’s a big Landrover fan, but also has a soft spot for old jeeps, too.

He wrote, “I thought you might be interested in these pictures I found in the University Of Utah’s digital library.  They were taken during the filming of “The Sculptured Earth”, which was a film to promote the creation of Canyonlands National Park. You’ll have to excuse the university watermarks, but they are some pretty great shots..  (and yes, as you’ve probably found out by my email I’m a huge Land Rover fan…. But I have a deep obsession/respect for the vehicle that started it all!)

According the to the University of Utah, The Sculptured Earth (see the photos below and more here)” was a 45-minute film promoting the creation of Canyonlands National Park, produced by Charles Eggert in 1962 at the request of Interior Secretary Stewart Udall and the National Park Service.

1948 CJ-2A Richardson, TX $4500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Still Available

“For sale is our 1948 Willys CJ2A. When we got the Willys it had a 1950’s F-head engine in it, which required an ugly hood scoop. I purchased a correct flat-head engine for it, had the engine rebuilt (new bearings, oil pump, etc.), new clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, new carb, trans seals, etc. Much nicer.

The pictures are a combination of before and after the engine swap, but hopefully I will get some better new pictures shortly.

It is a cool little vehicle and fun to putt around in. Clear Texas title in my name.

As to the trades, just let me know if you have something cool to trade. Not interested in boats however.

Please call/text 214-477-5807 or reply to the ad if you want more info or to come see it.”

2014 Southwest Trip Overview

OVERVIEW | Day 1 – March 20th: Dinner and Salt –>

UPDATE: This page originally covered our anticipated trip, but now that It is finished, it’s a summary page.

2014-march-may-full-trip-map

Southwest / California trip March 20-May 1, 2014.

We finally made it home to Pasco. It took us six weeks and one day to make the loop through the mountain west, into the southwest, and northward into California and Oregon. We covered a distance of 6,378 miles.

Once again, we have to give thanks to everyone who met with us, supported or followed our journey. We feel very fortunate to have these periods of time to travel with one another and see so much of this great country. Hopefully, you’ve enjoyed our trip and learned something new about a place you never knew.

We appreciate all the suggestions everyone gave us and we’re sorry we couldn’t followup on all of them. I know I’d hoped to drop by and see Paul Barry at Willys America or Jerry at his truck/wagon shop in Rodeo, CA. However, since my daughter is supposed to be in Los Angeles in the fall/spring of next year, I figured we would be back down there soon enough and will stop by both places.

What I find interesting about this ad forwarded by Marc is the emphasis on Ethyl being a trademark name.  Ethyl had already been around for twenty years by the time this ad was published, so I wonder what prompted this type of ad.
