1942 Article and Pics About Maj. Gen. Jacob Devers

• CATEGORIES: Bantam-FordGP-WillysMA-EarlyJPs, Features, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Major General Jacob Devers made multiple appearances in newspapers across the country. On February 05, 1942, he announced at Fort Knox that the armored forces could begin personalizing their peeps, jeeps, tanks, and other equipment with names, though they could not be objectionable names. The order does not indicate approval to put names on the windshields, but apparently that became allowed at some point.

1942-02-05-panamacity-news-herald-peep-jeep-names

On October 17, 1942 (Appeal Democrat out of Marysville, California) the Major General was photographed with other senior leaders discussing issues while sitting in a jeep:

========================

Originally Posted March 13, 2018: Interesting discussion on peep vs. jeep within the caption. The caption claims it has been misnamed “peep”, but then claims it has been erroneously called a “jeep” and that a “jeep” is a larger vehicle (Command Car, though in this case it is a Willys MA). As we’ve discussed earlier, there was a great debate about the proper term for the vehicle.

Mike shared this bulletin from March 11, 1958, that notified dealers a brochure was available for the Koenig-made ‘Jeep’ hardtop. For some reason, the company did not produce a brochure for the top; it took dealers requesting a brochure for them to make one.

NOS? 10-Spline Selectro Hubs Gonzales, CA $500

These look like they’ve never been mounted. What’s most interesting to me is that associated docs, which affirm Selectro hubs were made by Husky products (there is a short discussion of Husky making Selectro hubs on this very long page). These documents would have been produced after 1972, as that was the Heavy Duty Selectro hubs were released.

1949 Ad from Dealer M. O. Trindel

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features, Old News Articles This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This ad March 05, 1949, ad in the Beatrice times (Beatrice, Nebraska) from M. O. Trindel, and authorized Jeep Sales and Service provider underscores his enthusiasm for the Willys 1949 line-up of vehicles. His argument that Willys-Overland’s lack of innovation (models didn’t change yearly) was a competitive differentiator that I hadn’t considered, but this meant there was much internal innovation. I would argue that instead of Willys-Overland and Willys Motors innovating internally, they left the innovations to the special equipment folks, from tops and hubs to winches and other pto equipment.

1962 Truck Wycoff, NJ $13,000

Bill spotted this truck. It’s not clear if it was a service station truck, but a vintage “ROAD SERVICE” label has been painted on the hood. It’s listed as a 1962, but lacks the “hockey stick” trim.

1962-truck-wycoff-nj

“I’m thinking of letting go of a vehicle dear to my heart. I’ve owned this girl for about ten years and have brought it back to very presentable condition. Three speed manual, no power steering or power brakes. All glass clean. Crank windows work and the heater is remarkably effective. New tires, wheels, brakes, muffler, fuel pump, carburetor and fuel tank. Cab corners were becoming thin so I had them replaced using metal. No bon-do anywhere. She is equipped with four wheel drive which I had repaired. She runs like a sewing machine.
Plow available but I have never had it on. I doubt if the hydraulic pump works although it’s all there.
Truck is domiciled in Pennsylvania presently. It would make the trip back to this area although I would take back roads to hold the speed down. She will do 50. This vehicle is for rides around town, short trips and shows. Thumbs up and flashing headlights from admirers, you will get used to. Odometer reads 19xxxmiles. Cab has fresh flat black paint on it. I left ROAD SERVICE on the hood because I wanted the vehicle to look like a farm or garage truck. Interior is not restored although it is completely serviceable.”
