Bob forwarded these photos of a Monster Willys Truck and Camper. These photos were part of a 2010 post at: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-51159.html. The vehicle was spotted at Government Camp, Oregon.

1943 Photo of Dorothy Soderlund in North Africa on eBay

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

UPDATE: This photo of Dorothy Soderlund was purchased on eBay last May. Her niece, Nancy, discovered the photo on eWillys and wondered if an eWillys reader purchased the photo? As you can read in the comments, Nancy thought a great deal of her aunt Dorothy. If you purchased the photo, either comment below or contact me directly  d @ evillys.com to learn more about Dorothy from Nancy.

Isn’t this an unusual photo? Based on the folded caption on the back of the photo, Dorothy Soderlund was a State Department Employee who is holding a trophy made from a bomb casing and a baseball signed by Eisenhower (possibly Dwight).

1957 Photo of Jeep Travelers with Nixon on eBay

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

This photo captures an upcoming adventure by two University of Colorado students who plan to leave Denver and travel south into Central and South America in a CJ-5 they called “Columbus II”. I’ve located the email for Rolf Kjolseth (one of the two travelers) and emailed him to see if we can learn more about their trip. Also, check out Rolf’s amazing documentary street photography here: http://iconicimprints.com

Cheerios Box Goggle Ad with Soldiers in a Jeep on eBay

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

Here’s an unusual ad that must be pretty rare.

“This ad is from a collection where the collector apparently had the ads in a scrapbook and kept them attached with double sided white sticky tape on the reverse (see photo #2 for the worst case scenario example—this ad might be much better–ASK if it’s important to you! ). In some cases, I was able to trim the blank borders and get rid of some or all of the white tape. In the cases where I was not, I covered the white tape with a piece of clear tape to cover the “stickiness”.

These ads look GREAT from the front.

Some are extremely colorful with great graphics. They also may have one or more of the following– edge tears, a small repair with archival tape on the reverse and/or some degree of uneven cutting when removed from newspaper originally.”

The eBay title for this reads “Army Photographers Document Arctic Smurf UFO Crash”. However, no description was provided to explain that odd title.
