“Up for sale is an amazing example original Land Rover Series 1 was designed by Maurice Wilks and launched by the Rover Company of Solihull on 30th April 1948. It had an 80inch wheelbase and a sturdy box section ladder-frame chassis. The open back with 3 seats in the front design was heavily influenced by the American World War. The Land Rover quickly became popular, the wheelbase was extended during the Series one production to give the vehicle a greater load capacity. Originally produced with a 1600cc Petrol engine, Land Rover replaced this with the larger 2.0 litre petrol engine which was fitted between 1951 and 1958.

Day 20 – Apr. 8th: California Adventure w/ Mrs. Soggy Bottom

<– Day 19 – Apr. 7th: From McDonald’s to Ruby’s | OVERVIEW | Day 21 – Apr. 9th: Day 2 at Disneyland –>

2014-04-08-disney-truck

Yep, I found the Willys truck near the Grizzly Water Slide in the California Adventure Park. How could I resist a photo with it? Of course, I could not.

Our goal for today was simple: Go to Disneyland’s California Adventure Park. This was made possible by the kind donation of a reader who wishes to remain anonymous coupled with Disney’s active military only three-day $129 park hopper pass. That pass allowed us to do one park yesterday (California Adventure) and one park today (Disneyland). (how is she still active military you wonder? The Air Force refuses to release her fully from duty because of what she did with them).

2014-04-08-fullerton-disney-map

Today our drive was short, as my buddy’s place is close to Disneyland.

Even better, because Ann can’t stand for long periods of time, Disney’s handicap system provides us a way to avoid standing in lines for the ‘fast pass’ tickets. I won’t go into explaining how the Disney Fast Pass vs the standard waiting line vs the single line vs the handicap line all differ from one another, because it does get a little confusing. But, I do have to thank Disney for making the experience possible for Ann (and others).

Now, why am I calling her Mrs. Soggy Bottom? Because we made the mistake of riding the Grizzly Water Ride as our second ride. She got his with a lot of water, causing her shorts to get wet. It was she who called herself Mrs. Soggy Bottom 🙂

The “Cars” ride was by far our favorite. It starts as a typical ride, but then turns into a road race. Pretty fun! What I found most amazing about this ride was the rock wall over and behind it. The rock looks so real and is enormous (see second pic — huge!!). I’m sure it is fiberglass/plastic/cement . . . but the paint, and look, down to the dirt at the bottom of one of the faux mesas’s, was incredible.

Tim shared this small bit of news from beachtreenews.com

“Around 4:19pm on Wednesday afternoon a vehicle went through Lindsey’s Market on Hwy 79.  Michael L. Hutchison (DOB 3/1/81) of Oak Ridge Road, claims that a van stopped in front of him and he could not stop, so he left the road, went through the parking lot, and into the building. Hutchison is lodged in the Butler County Jail and charged with operating a vehicle on a suspended/revoked, operating a motor vehicle under the influence of Alcohol/Drugs, .08, first offense, and possession of marijuana.”

I think you only have to look at eWillys to find another one . . . Unusual rear hitch.

“You will want to look twice at this one, because you probably will never see another one again! Purchased 17 years ago, put into storage container but now need it is time to sell. Complete, yes it is all there. Comes with many, many very to hard find correct parts. NO TITLE so the listing is forcing me to list it for parts but if you can title it, you will be set.”

“As the title says I have a 1953 willys jeep that I have to sell! I just got it and I fell in love with it but something came up and I really need the money! It runs and drives great the 4wd works well and it’s a ton of fun, no body rust that I’ve seen and the tires have plenty of life left.

Parade ready.

“This is an awesome completely rust free, recently restored and VERY CLEAN 1953 Wills M38A1. This Jeep underwent a frame off restoration about 7 years ago and still looks great. It was used in a few parades over the past few years and sat in a barn the rest of the time. She runs great and is ready for action! The floors, frame and undercarriage were sandblasted and painted and look like new (see pictures). The transfer cases were rebuilt and also painted and look like new. All wheel wells are immaculate and look like new. The motor (original 4 cylinder Hurricane) was rebuilt and detailed with correct original colors. The engine compartment was also repainted and the original shovel is present. 24 volt system with electrical generator outlet and heavy duty cable included. The jeep was painted at the time of restoration and still looks great (it does have its share of paint chips and dings and some paint wear areas on the floor). Brass data plate was redone and looks like art! The interior was also repainted and is still in very good shape with some slight paint wear in floor feet areas. Seats are in very good shape with some slight wear. Canvas top is also in good shape and free of rips. This Jeep has the keyless floor foot start button. She fires up right away. Has correct choke and throttle cables. All gauges and gauge lights work! Horn works! Lights work! Wipers work! Complete with correct military tires and wheels! I also have a repair manual that comes with the Jeep. Also has the tow cable connector box in rear. This jeep gets attention everywhere and is a blast to drive! Here is your chance to own a piece of history at an affordable price!”
