“Worn Rusty Hubbs” has a removable lower FC Fan shroud to make it easier to work on the engine. He thought folks might like to see some pics. Thanks for taking the time to shoot the photos Rusty!

This old photo is interesting. I think that’s a newer Hotchkiss in the front with an older jeep (Hotchkiss?) in the rear.

Cool old pedal jeep. I’m not sure what type. The price seems a bit over the top given the seller can’t identify it either.

From left to right Alan, Me and Joe and Joe’s jeeps. Alan also owns a few jeeps, including a Surrey he’s been restoring. He too can blame his father for his Willys sickness.

On Thursday morning we woke up to silence. The room at the Murray was amazingly peaceful. There’s no constant hum of a nearby highway, no air condition churning noisily, just relaxing quiet.
