How about this cool DJ-5 custom grille. The photographer who posted these pics (and others) was also the builder.

Cotton Candy & Popcorn Jeep at Fifth ave and 50th, Brooklyn

If I’d only known . . . Apparently Ceclia Gomez operates a popcorn and cotton candy stand out of a pink DJ-5 near Sunset Park in Brooklyn (near 5th Avenue and 50th Street). My wife says that is a must stop on our next trip to New York!

Colin Visits the 2014 Barrett-Jackson Auction

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

Colin dropped by the 2014 Barrett Jackson auction and filed the following report.

“Went to Barrett-Jackson today with fellow Jeepster and DJ3A owner Jim Sullivan and saw several Willys vehicles that I thought would be of interest.  I have attached several photos with a short explanation of each.

1961 FC 150 done in Coca Cola style, might have been on eWillys a week or so ago? (ed note — this FC-Coca Cola is similar, but not the same.)

1941 Photo of a Protype Jeep Being Wrapped on eBay

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

And you thought putting chains on a vehicle during the winter is a hassle? The GIs are finishing wrapping up this jeep for a float across the river at Fort Benning, Georgia. Note that this is a Prototype Jeep. Based on the handles on the driver’s side, the seats and the grille (that is just peeking out), can you guess which one?

“This is an original press photo. At Fort Benning, Georgia.Photo measures 9 x 7.25inches. Photo is dated 07-15-1941.”

This is a collection of three photos. I’ve blown up two of them. That’s one big welding unit to be dragging around the desert.

I don’t remember seeing either of these brochures. Maybe I have? I wonder what the other sides look like. Both are reasonably priced, too.
