Mark Smith’s Jeep Museum in Georgetown, Ca
I learned today that Mark Smith opened a museum a couple months back in Georgetown, Ca, at what I believe is the Jeep Jamboree Headquarters. At this point, it isn’t so much a museum as a collection of some rare jeeps, but they are nice looking jeeps. According to the Jamboree website, Mark organized the first Jeep Jamporee in 1954, traveling across the Sierra Nevada Mountains by way of the Rubicon Trail. It sounds like he is still going strong!
You can view all of them here:

Play Jeep at the Illinois State Museum in Springfield, Illinois
If you visit the Illinois State Museum in Springfield, Illinois, and have kids, make sure to stop by the Mary Ann MacLean Play Museum in the basement of the building. Here’s a pic of it form the State Journal-Register and a story, too.
Hesse Hornet Info Wanted
The Hesse Hornet was an air compressor manufactured by the Hess Manufacturing Company in the late 1940s(?). The compressor used a CJ-2A engine to run, but only pistons 1 & 4. The middle two pistons were used to compress air. Keith recently bought one of these and was going to part it out, but changed his mind and now wants to restore it. However, there isn’t much online about it. Below are the links we know about it so far. If you know of any additional info, please add it to the comments.

(05/12/2012) This thing looks pretty solid, but that ‘paint job’ gives is a junk yard feel.
“This vehicle is in original condition except the electrial system is converted to 12 volt. It runs strong, is in really good shape, no rust , needs a paint job. I added the jeep cans and holders on the tail gate. I also added the Warn type hub lockouts, tires are probly 75% new.”
