Paul’s ‘Goddess’ forwarded me a link about Yale’s Photogrammar website that contains 170,000 photographs from 1935 to 1945 created by the United State’s Farm Security Administration and Office of War Information (FSA-OWI).

One of the neater features shows all the photos mapped by county across the United States.  Click here to see it: http://photogrammar.yale.edu/map/

mapped-photographs-programmarThe folks at FSA-OWI also had time to get jeep photos. You’ve likely seen many of them, but there are a few I don’t remember seeing. Here are my jeep search results.

Victory Toy Jeeps from the Netherlands

Jan’s Victory Toy Jeep

Jan contacted me about a toy his father picked up in Maastricht (Netherlands) at the end of WWII. He didn’t know the history of the toy and asked if I knew. I didn’t know either, but after some research, I learned this toy was called a victory toy and made in the Netherlands following their liberation in WWII. However, what’s not clear is who manufactured these toys. Was it “Victory Toys” or were these ‘victory toys’ made by a manufacturer not of that name?

1978 CJ-7 Hammonton, NJ **Status Unknown**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-7 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Was $6500. **Status Unknown**

(06/07/2014) Here’s a ‘Coca Cola’ themed jeep.

I am selling my 1978 Jeep CJ7. It is originally from Texas where there is almost no humidity which has kept it rust and rot free. It has an in-line 6 cylinder with 57k on the odm and a manual 3 speed. It has been serviced by my local mechanic and is regularly maintenanced. Garage kept, shifts like a dream and runs like a beast. 4 wheel drive is in perfect working order and has not been in any automobile accidents. The body is pretty much dent free for being all original; not bad for being over 30 years old. Any Jeep enthusiast knows this Jeep is a gem. I have title and am ready to make a deal, although I do not want to part with it. No low ball offers and no trades please so serious inquiries only. This Jeep doesn’t depreciate in value. I have a hard top with doors and also have soft half doors. New tires and red seat belts to match the color scheme. Not my daily driver, never off road, it has only been driven locally to the gym or store and is parked the majority of the winter besides a ride up the street to keep things lubed. Never been bonded, no body work has ever been done or needed to be done. Can be an excellent show car with a new paint job.”
