Paul A. Lanquist’s CJ-3A & Bryce Canyon National Park

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

While Paul Lanquist’s CJ-3A looks pretty accurate, the background doesn’t look like the parts of Bryce Canyon National Park that I’ve seen.

Here’s a standard print by Paul. It can be printed on all kinds of items:

1942 BRT MB Slat Grille Boise, ID **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: SOLD on eBay for 8628.

This is a unique jeep. It’s a Slat Grille with a Glove Box built for Britain. Read all about it below.

1942-mb-slat-brt-boise-id1 1942-mb-slat-brt-boise-id2 1942-mb-slat-brt-boise-id3 1942-mb-slat-brt-boise-id4

 

===============

UPDATES:
I’ve had a few questions on the signifcance of the BRT designation and why it is so unique.

What the BRT specifically stands for is “Britian” and it’s marked specifically on the data plate in the “mystery box” on the line that says “MAKE MODEL” “WILLYS MB” just above the Serial Number location.

The BRT marking makes this jeep specifically a British contract jeep. Produce by the Willys Factory specifically for export for the British military during the war. Exports contract negotiated happened before the US even entered the war. Making even the story of the BRT’s very interesting.

Eventually some of the British contracts request were filled with reconditioned vehicles due to American war needs. The actual number of BRT jeeps that were produced is very few and fewer survive today.

There is an excellent sections on Export jeeps specifically the BRT and specifically differences in markings and later modifications written by Peter Ferris in Lloyd White’s book “The Evolution of the Willys-Overland MB Jeep Volume 1” (chapter 8 for those of you that have the book; but if you would like to know where to get a copy of the book send me an email and I can set you in the right direction)

As noted earlier being that this slat has a glove box it is VERY rare, being that it has the BRT designation makes it even rarer. This jeep is one of the most unique, smallest production, most coveted jeeps of the war, and very deserving of a proper restoration.
