Roberto’s Newest Illustrations

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

Roberto Flores forwarded these two illustrations with some background information. Great as always!

Here are a couple of pics of my newest commissioned order cartoons for the “Jambo Jeep 2015” meeting. This is a classic jeep and 4×4 held each year at Navarre, where I live. From some years ago, the crew which organized this meeting ordered me some artwork, as cartoons or logos. This year, they have asked me to draw the logo too (I would try to find some pics of it) and these 2 cartoons. One shows a fully restored WW2 US Army Dodge WC51, with markings of the famous 101st AB division “Screaming Eagles”. His owner is posing next to it and dressed with the airborne division uniform. Also, you could see his girlfriend at the background and some architecture from the village in which they live, Murla, at Alicante, on the Mediterranean coast.

The other “violet” Willys jeep is a Spanish Viasa one modified to look as an US flatfender by his owner, who appears too at the drawing, posing with all his family. Also, I have drawn some well known monuments and so of their village, Almacelles, at Catalonia.

1947 CJ-2A Boyer Jeep Brunswick, Canada Make Offer

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, Fire/Police/Industry Vehicles • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

John’s selling this Boyer Jeep. The jeep has less than 9,000 miles and was formerly a DNR wire jeep. I have the stainless steel racks that were on the jeep and the tailgate. I don’t have all the side mounted tool boxes. I also have all the canvas. Roof, doors and back. As for the knob on the front by the headlight it is hand throttle. I suspect it was used for the water pump that at one time was mounted on the front. This is why it does not have the proper front bumper I suspect.

You can email him at jrhackett42@yahoo.ca

Day 4 – Wed. Apr. 15th: Salmon and Subway

I now have an additional reason to eat Subway sandwiches! This truck was in Albuquerque off of Wyoming Blvd.

Today was a breather day. Our simple goal was to make the four hour drive from Durango south to Albuquerque. Without anything planned, we let chance be our guide.

It turned out ‘chance’ liked jeeps on this day. On our way out of Durango we saw a flat fender, a cj-5, and a beautifully rusted truck (orange-red patina). Unfortunately, we were on a two-lane busy road with no pull-offs. All we could do was shout to one another, ‘there’s another jeep!”

After taking a wrong turn in Cortez, we found ourselves in Farmington, New Mexico, where we spotted two unusual vehicles. The first reminded me of a Tour FC with it’s white and red top.

The second was a limoseum parked out front of Farmington’s museum.

2015-04-15-limoseum1 2015-04-15-limoseum2

Despite the cool car, we didn’t go inside the museum. Instead, we got back on track and headed east for Bloomfield. That’s where we saw the strangest sign: SALMON RUINS. As you can imagine, we didn’t expect to find any salmon bones, carcasses or ruins in New Mexico. So, naturally, we had to investigate.

Sea Foam Jeep Sticker

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

David discovered this sticker at his local auto shop: Mid County Auto in Capitola, California.  He wrote, Have you seen these Sea Foam stickers? I was in my local auto parts / machinist and they gave me this sticker today. They told me that the local Sea Foam rep left them and since they know we’re GPW guys, the shop saved one for each of us. How cool is that? It’s about 4.5 by 7 inches. You can see the actual outline of the sticker on the scan; it’s not rectangular.
