1962 Photos of Captain Harry Wilson’s M-38A1s in Egypt

• CATEGORIES: Features, International, M-38A1, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Ed Wilson wanted to share some unusual jeeps photos from Egypt. They were taken in 1962 by his father Captain Harry Wilson during his United Nations duties in Egypt, while serving with the Canadian Army.

Ed notes that a few years ago his father searched for a tiny place called Sharm el-Sheikh where Harry and a fellow officer served during 1962. Their job was to look after a desalination plant. Instead of locating the hut where the two of them and a local family that cooked for them had lived, Harry was blown away to discover a billion dollar resort. No doubt the hut and the family are long gone.

The “MIL-GOVT” painted on the front of this jeep’s windshield was interesting. This is the American First Army near the Roer River.jpg

I’d think this was a movie, except that the identifying numbers on this GPW are taped over on the hood and windshield.guys-in-suits-numbers-taped

You might remember that Ann and I visited the Shelburne Museum in June of 2013. According to this brochure, they used to have a jeep-train (which they called the museum barge). I’ll do some searches for more photos.

Postcard w/ Jeep in Pensacola, Florida

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

This early 1950s postcard from Pensacola, Florida, shows a CJ-2A or CJ-3A turning onto Palafox Street, which was a main drag (still is?). I’ve not been to Pensacola . . . yet. Ann would like to do a drive down to the Florida Keys and back. We are probably a year or two away from that trip.

“THIS IS A NICE EARLY POSTCARD SHOWING DOWNTOWN PENSACOLA, FLORIDA, ON PALAFOX STREET FROM A LONG TIME AGO. I SEE THE RHODES BUILDING AND THEATER ON THE RIGHT, AND I CAN ALMOST MAKE OUT THE MARQUEE, BUT PARTS OF IT ARE NOT THERE. I SEE A HUGE BUILDING ON THE LEFT, WHICH OBVIOUSLY WAS A HOTEL,”

Does the underside of that top someone connect to the windshield? It’s not clear to me how it attaches.

“Jeep is in good condition; engine was rebuilt a few years back and runs strong, clutch and drive train have been gone though and there are no leaks. Body was worked on by the previous owner and looks good. Frame is in good condition.
