(03/11/2013) This custom jeep looks fun.

Ed Wilson wanted to share some unusual jeeps photos from Egypt. They were taken in 1962 by his father Captain Harry Wilson during his United Nations duties in Egypt, while serving with the Canadian Army.
Ed notes that a few years ago his father searched for a tiny place called Sharm el-Sheikh where Harry and a fellow officer served during 1962. Their job was to look after a desalination plant. Instead of locating the hut where the two of them and a local family that cooked for them had lived, Harry was blown away to discover a billion dollar resort. No doubt the hut and the family are long gone.
The “MIL-GOVT” painted on the front of this jeep’s windshield was interesting. This is the American First Army near the Roer River.jpg
I’d think this was a movie, except that the identifying numbers on this GPW are taped over on the hood and windshield.
You might remember that Ann and I visited the Shelburne Museum in June of 2013. According to this brochure, they used to have a jeep-train (which they called the museum barge). I’ll do some searches for more photos.
One here: Shelburne Museum Map on eBay

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,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
There appears to be more than $400 of value here.
“I have some original parts for sale 4cyl flat head motor ready for rebuild or buy whole jeep”
Does the underside of that top someone connect to the windshield? It’s not clear to me how it attaches.
“Jeep is in good condition; engine was rebuilt a few years back and runs strong, clutch and drive train have been gone though and there are no leaks. Body was worked on by the previous owner and looks good. Frame is in good condition.
If you have any questions ask and I will answer them.

These poor jeeps have been sitting a while. In the rear cargo area of the jeep with wheels it looks like there might be some type of PTO or draw bar attachment. The jeep without wheels has a rear PTO.
“I have two Willys jeeps for sale . The jeep that has the motor and transmission parts scattered inside is a 1948 the other is a 1946 and has a title. The 48 also has a power takeoff attached ,the engagement lever and drive shaft seemed to be missing. The 46 jeep had the motor rebuilt the same year that I parking it, approximately 12 years ago. The transmission and motor both ran very well . The wiring burned up after putting an eight volt battery in it and just never got around to rewire it. The buyer will be responsible for removal, I will be glad to help.”

UPDATE: A 1964 article in the Spokesman-Review highlights their speaking tour following the Indonesian trip.
In 1954, Helen and Frank Schreider drove a Ford GPA (amphibious jeep) named Tortuga from the Arctic Circle to the southern most town in South America, Ushuaia, Argentina. They published a book about their adventure called 20,000 Miles South: A Pan-American Adventure in a Seagoing Jeep from the Arctic Circle. It was a book I enjoyed.
In 1960, Helen and Frank began a new adventure in India. For unknown reasons, Tortuga was replaced by the Tortuga II (Amphibious Vehicle website has a great comparison information between Tortuga I and Tortuga II). Perhaps the original Tortuga was too damaged to undertake another long trek. The goal of their Indian adventure was to explore the Ganges river plain and write an article for National Geographic (which appeared in the October 1960 issue). I have the article, but have yet to read it.
In 1961, following their India adventure, the pair undertook an even longer expedition. They wanted to explore Indonesia’s Lesser Sundas, a chain of islands stretching 3000 miles from Bali to Timor. Their adventure filled two large articles for National Geographic (Indonesia: Young and Troubled Nation in the May 1961 issue and East from Bali by Seagoing Jeep in the August 1962 issue). They also published a book in 1963 called the Drums of Tonkin: An Adventure in Indonesia.
Both the National Geographic articles about Indonesia and their Drums of Tonkin book are dense with cultural references and photographs. Unfortunately, both the articles and the book over-burdened me with local references to such a degree that for me the story was less compelling than their 20,000 Miles book. This likely reflects a larger emphasis on anthropology, geography, and biology, a result of their funding by National Geographic.
Despite the compelling prose, there were plenty of photographs to enjoy. Here’s just a few. This first one is pretty self-explanatory.
According to the New York Times obituary for Frank, who died in 1994 in Crete, the couple joined National Geographic in 1967 and continued to have additional adventures by vehicle, foot and boat. However, there is no record that they ever traveled by GPA.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,000.
Unclear how serious seller is. Jeep looks good.
