1953 M-38A1 (C?) Hankinson, ND eBay

• CATEGORIES: M-38A1 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This may well be the 1953 M-38A1C variant due to the location of the spare tire on the cowl and the leftover holes on the passenger side for the gas can carrier. See comparison pic here: https://web.archive.org/web/20210609015433/http://www.m38a1.com/images/models/C_Model/38a1c_h.jpg

“Additional info added 10/8, see below Engine sn: MD80350 and info explaining the possible reason for the Tailgate opening and the location of the side spare tire vs rear location for this model year.

Nearly an entirely original M38A1

This M38A1 came out of the military and was previously a civil defense rig which explains the side decal and the yellow paint.

Cruises 50+ mph on the highway.

Rev 10/8/23: Upon further research, I found a little info that could explain the Tailgate opening and the reason for why the spare tire location is different, read the article in the link below. Some jeeps had a mounted gun. Might also explain why it doesn’t have the rear seat.

https://cj3b.info/Siblings/MD.html

Looking this M38A1 closer, the Tailgate opening appears to be factory it has olive Drab paint and rounded bends vs rough cut saw marks. Then the 2 pieces of “C” channel were welded in later to hold the Tailgate.

The side mounted spare appears to be factory with all of the appropriate brackets and hardware.

-Engine s/n: MD80350 stamping near water pump
-tag behind seat is present but covered with yellow paint that isn’t easily removed chemical removal attempted but abrasive removal hasn’t been tried due to concerns of damaging the tag.

-Clean title – licensed in North Dakota
-VIN tag states 10/53
-Title states 1954
-Runs and Drives
-Functional brakes that work but pull to one side when applied.
-Nearly original 24 Volt electrical system, the only thing I am aware of that was changed over is the ignition coil, it has 2 – 12 VDC coils in parallel, and the aftermarket blinkers.
-Good glass
-Very solid vehicle with only surface rust, no serious rot.
-Solid underseat toolbox as shown in pictures
-Yellow paint condition is poor and was likely applied by the civil defense with a paint brush, however it did a great job protecting this vehicle for many years.
-Vacuum wipers are currently non functional.
-All gauges work with the exception of the fuel gauge, stuck on full.
-Tailgate is not original.
-Fairly straight sheet metal, Front bumper and passenger fender have the most significant dents as shown in pictures.
-Engine bay is original olive Drab green and very clean as shown
-Black out lights included, condition unknown
-Working parking brake
-Tires are aged and 2 have slow leaks

May 1962 Jeep News

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

The first few pages of this twelve-page issue cover the introduction of the Tornado engine. For some reason, there’s a small portion of page 3-4 that’s been cut out. I’m not exactly sure why. Page five highlights a row of FCs delivered to the New Jersey Turnpike, while another article discusses Mrs. Delta Burrece’s use of four jeeps to deliver aid tosome Cherokee Indians. Page eight introduces the movie “Magic Tide“, which included a Surrey. The movie was a featurette that seems to have disappeared into obscurity. Page nine shares more information on Kentucky nurses, something covered by these news articles I originally shared in 2018 (or see post below). On page twelve is an article about jeeps operating on a Hawaiian Ranch.

Kentucky’s Frontier Nursing Service & Jeeps

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images, Women & Jeeps This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
frontier-nursing-service10

The Frontier Nursing Service in one of their jeeps.

Thanks to Bus for spotting this interesting story. Stared in 1925 by Mary Breckinridge, the Frontier Nursing Service (FNS) provided healthcare to rural folks in Kentucky. At first, horses and saddlebags helped them gain access to remote areas, but during WWII the group turned to jeeps. As these photos show, over the years FNS used a variety of different jeeps. There is even a 1931 documentary about the group (with additional information here):

In the late 1930s Edsel Ford donated a reconditioned Model A to the Service, which Mary named Henrietta. Several years later Ford replaced Henrietta with Henrietta II, a jeep. At some point the FNS secured another jeep, a WWII jeep Mary named “Jane”, named for a benefactor Clara “Jane” Ford”.

According to the Henry Ford website, this jeep was “Jane”.

This eight-page-issue starts with jeeps at the Chicago Show (see page 2 for a wide-photo of the display). As part of my thoughts for a jeep museum, I envisioned a world in the center of a circular room (sort of like what is shown in the front page pic below) and rope attached between the earth, pointing to where a manufacturer was located, and the the other end of the rope connecting to the wall with images and pics related. Then, for more topical related items (such as the jeep’s use with coffee in Colombia) there would be smaller strings connecting the spot on the planet with information on the wall. The northern hemisphere would be on  a second floor and the southern hemisphere on the first floor. In my head it works, lol.

Page three has a reference about an FC that was taken to Alaska by Wells M. Fox and his sister Mrs. Leo J. Miller.

Pages four and five have many dealer references.

Pages six, seven, and eight show off a variety of jeep uses, including a tram setup pulled by an FC-170 with front wheel drive only. There were two of these trams made.
