The photo of this accident was forwarded by Marc.

“Our dear Grandma Dolores kept everything!

Here, as found in her home is a vintage photograph of a demolished jeep. There is no writing with the exception of the stamp on the back which reads:
“FFC-51-10109 31 MARCH 51
Demolished Jeep:
The Jeep of BB Commander LT Col Elmer Owens, 24th line div, which had been blown up by hitting a road mine in front of a tank of the 5th rct, 24th line div during offensive action in Korea. LT Col Owens receives first aid at right.
US Army photo by SFC Chang (LF)
Staff distribution only–not for publication until released by GHC PIO”
It also faintly says “record” and “file”

Dolores’s husband was a US army photographer stationed in Tokyo, Japan during the Korean War. We will be listing many of the items and photographs he brought back, including photos he took while training.”

Year? CJ-2A Wake Forest, NC **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.

(02/15/2013) Walter forwarded this CJ-2A.  The seller says he has the arctic top, but it isn’t attached.  I’m wondering if the pics are prior to the work that was done. It doesn’t have a title.

“I have a early 40s Willys Jeep, 4 cylinder runs good, looks to be rebuilt before I got it, 4 wheel works, body rusty but pretty solid, has anew gas tank, I think its a M38 Military type. All have been rewired and work. Also have the Artic Hard Top with it but its not attached. I have not driven it on the road but have driven it in the woods and it done well,”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

Suddenly, a Baby Ruth bar is sounding good!

“This old comic book ad (which ran in publications as a promotion, and measures approximately 6×9 inches) is heavily creased and worn, but I hope it gets a good home! Not a photocopy or more recent reproduction.”

1941 Preformed Wire Rope Ad w/ Ford GP on eBay

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

This ad for preformed wire rope doesn’t seem to be sponsored by a particular company (unless I’m missing something?)

“11,000 Jeeps could be made from steel conserved by Performed Wire Rope…
Specifications
Ad is about 7.75 x 11 inches
Condition Note
It’s rather difficult to get the color and the contrast of the original in a scan AND preserve any flaws, which tend to get muted, so this text will describe flaws, if any.
The ad is in good condition. This ad has been carefully removed from an original period magazine. Auctioned as is.”
