Ron shot this photo during a recent trip to Oregon’s Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. As you can see, since Ann’s and my visit two years ago, the jeep now has a trailer. Ron reports the museum has sold the B-17. So, if you want to see it there, you’d better hurry.

Willys Overland Service Postcard
Here’s a neat postcard image that John shared with me. Unfortunately, there’s nothing to indicate the year. Based on the comment that tops are available in canvas, plastic, and wood, this is likely a late ’40s postcard.
