Located fifty miles west of Minneapolis in Willmar, MN, the Schwanke Car, Tractor, and Truck Museum has been open since 1998.  It features the collection of Virgil Schwanke, who has been  collecting vehicles for fifty-five years. He has assembled over 400 units for display, including tractors, cars, trucks, gas engines, gas pumps, signs and more. He recently added a CJ-2A to the museum.

Virgil uses this CJ-2A as a springboard to talk about jeeps during World War II.  You can read more in the museum’s blog post.

I always thought these were mini-terra tires, but they were advertised as “mini-terror” off road tires.  I found this ad in the February, 1974, issue of Four Wheeler.

1953 M-38A1 with Custom Body Parkton, AR **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5250

Eric spotted this unusually modified M-38A1 that used to be a mess. It’s a different kind of slat grille. It might be a fun ride?

“This is not a restored original. See pictures
The only salvageable parts were the chassis, the motor, (rebuilt), the steering wheel, rear ends, transmission, and speedometer.
It is registered as an antique vehicle, and is in good running condition. The mileometer reads 56,349 miles, but I cannot vouch for the accuracy. Approximately 2,000 miles have been put on since the motor was rebuilt.
The motor is an L-head Overland motor.
This is a “one of a kind” vehicle, which you must see to appreciate!!”

Bob’s Photo of the Valstrey Willys Dealership

Bob bought this photo at an antique store a couple days ago. Visible in it are trailers, a wagon, and a couple flatties. The sign appears to read  “145 e. werrick rd, tel. Valley stream 3638”

After some googling, Bob and I determined there was a Valstrey Service Corporation at 145 E. Merrick in Freeport, NY, which is very close the town of Valley Stream, NY. Further research yielded a newspaper ad out of the Brooklyn Eagle (Jan. 22nd 1950, pg 15) showing the Valstrey Service Corp from the address above in a Willys Advertisement (see below).
