Checking out a 1943 MB Barn Find

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Brian invited me over to his house to meet Brian and see the a new Barn find: A 1943 MB.  They found just outside the tricities area. It’s got some hat channel issues, but otherwise is pretty solid.  It’s also has an engine that Brian got running today.  It’s a great find and, except for a lot of very cold wasps, will make a great stock MB. Since they live nearby, they’ve promised me a few additional adventures that include hunting for jeeps. I look forward to that.

Here are a couple photos taken by my favorite photographer (Ann of course). In front of the stock MB is Art’s recently purchase M-38, which looks and runs great.  A former Navy Seabee, Art has decorated his jeep to reflect his time in the Navy.  Behind that is the ‘barn find’ and then behind that is Brian’s flattie.

Roberto shared the following, along with his newest drawing:

“I send you one of the comics drawn for French bimontly magazine “4×4 Story Spécial Jeep”, translated to English, This is the comic published at issue 46. The subject of the comic was the employ of the jeep during the vintage of wine at France. After WW2 many army surplus vehicle were employed by civilians and of course, at the areas devoted to the well known French wines. In fact, there was at least one winery commercialised a product called “Jeep”. One video at “You Tube”:

M-38 on Hawaii Five-0

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Guy spotted this M-38 on the January 14th, 2013, episode of Hawaii Five-O. He managed to grab the below picture.  He also found extra links or us too (thanks!).  It looks like someone has smeared dirt in places to give it that ‘rough’ look.

He reports on the right is Steve McGarrett, played by Alex O’Louglin. On the left is Chin Ho Kelly, played by Daniel Dae Kim.Link to info about this new version of Hawaii Five-0:  http://www.cbs.com/shows/hawaii_five_0/about/

Here is some additional Hawaii related links and info he found, too.

 Also, found a vintage Jeep pic at the Hawaii War Records Depository site: http://libweb.hawaii.edu/digicoll/hwrd/HWRD_html/HWRD42b.html
See War Record #494 – Scroll halfway down the tall page.
Upon further looking around the War Records site, I found you can do a search within related sites for Jeep images and Jeeps being mentioned in communications, etc.  I did not have time yet to look through it.
