Check out the unusual set up on the back of the green CJ-3B. Does that jeep have a rack over the top, too? This postcard shows at least 6 jeeps.

TMC Implements All Purpose Sprayer
Anyone know anything about the Transport Motor Company (TMC)? Did TMC make the sprayer or is this a private labeled sprayer built by another company? I found one reference to the company on a CJ-2Apage thread.
Here’s a small brochure about the sprayer I bought off eBay the other day.
6’x6′ Jeep Sign in Illinois on eBay
This is for pickup only.
“As you probably know these are very hard to find in their full form. These are often cut down to size, that is if one is managed to sneak its way out of being completely destroyed which is what is supposed to happen to these signs if they are removed or replaced. Contact me if you have any questions or would like to see additional pictures. This would be available for PICK UP ONLY, however. If you are willing to pay for shipping you will have to secure this on your own, prove the shipping cost, and pay the extra amount.”

Four in a Jeep — International Posters
Die Vier im Jeep (Four in a Jeep) was the original title of this 1951. It was filmed in Austria. Anyone seen it? I found some neat posters about it. Here’s more on Wikipedia.
“In post-war Vienna, occupied by the Allies, four sergeants representing each of the occupying nations (USA, England, France, Soviet Union)patrol in the same Jeep. One day they are given the mission to capture and arrest a prisoner who has run away from a Soviet war prisoner camp. But when they learn the truth about Karl, the runaway, and Franziska, his wife, they decide to help him instead. The trouble is that the Soviet sergeant is held on a short leash by his superiors. He has strict orders not to let the fugitive slip away and he comes into conflict with his fellow military policemen. In these conditions, Will Karl and Franziska be reunited and live free again?”

I found a variety of posters at comicartfans.com. These were all posted by the owner of the originals, Roy Mann.
