Roger Martin and his Father Jim “Pee Wee” Martin in the Netherlands

UPDATE: Roger called me to provide a little additional info. First, the “young lady” with whom Jim is shaking hands is actually the Prime Minister of Defense for the Netherlands. Apparently, there were numerous other dignitaries and security was tight. 

I’m taking a break for the night, but don’t worry. Roger Martin and his father Jim “Pee Wee” Martin have been busy in the Netherlands. Roger’s father was invited over to participate in some WWII events and visit numerous museums. I can’t say exactly which photos go with which musuem, but they are still interesting to look at. Thanks for all the photos Roger!

Rusty’s Windshield

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

I had a chance this past week to begin taking apart the windshield. The windshield frame has only surface rust, so that’s a relief, but it does have two cracks. One crack should be easily fixed, but the other is on the arm. It is complete severed except for the cables(?) on the inside. This will be a little more of a challenge. Here are some photos:

Despite the lost key and damage to the rear quarter panel, this still might be worth a look.

1954? CJ-3Bish? Victor, ID $6250

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A, CJ-3B This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This has a shortened 3B grill and a 3B windshield, so I”m not quite sure what this is.

“1954 Jeep Willys for sale – $6,250.00. Has a late 70s Ford Pinto 4 cylinder, runs great. Has been wired with a fuse box, new hubs, 4×4 works great. Comes with extras. Easy to tow. Would be a great around town rig, or hunting machine. Clean title, serious inquiries only. Would also consider trading for a newer pull behind camp trailer.”
