Roberto Flores forwarded these two illustrations with some background information. Great as always!

Here are a couple of pics of my newest commissioned order cartoons for the “Jambo Jeep 2015” meeting. This is a classic jeep and 4×4 held each year at Navarre, where I live. From some years ago, the crew which organized this meeting ordered me some artwork, as cartoons or logos. This year, they have asked me to draw the logo too (I would try to find some pics of it) and these 2 cartoons. One shows a fully restored WW2 US Army Dodge WC51, with markings of the famous 101^st AB division “Screaming Eagles”. His owner is posing next to it and dressed with the airborne division uniform. Also, you could see his girlfriend at the background and some architecture from the village in which they live, Murla, at Alicante, on the Mediterranean coast.

The other “violet” Willys jeep is a Spanish Viasa one modified to look as an US flatfender by his owner, who appears too at the drawing, posing with all his family. Also, I have drawn some well known monuments and so of their village, Almacelles, at Catalonia.

David discovered this sticker at his local auto shop: Mid County Auto in Capitola, California.  He wrote, Have you seen these Sea Foam stickers? I was in my local auto parts / machinist and they gave me this sticker today. They told me that the local Sea Foam rep left them and since they know we’re GPW guys, the shop saved one for each of us. How cool is that? It’s about 4.5 by 7 inches. You can see the actual outline of the sticker on the scan; it’s not rectangular. 

David spotted this original cartoon dated 1945 on Craigslist.

Here’s a classic from my childhood. The illustrations were done by B. K. Taylor. and sold in a series of Odd Rod packages that included chewing gum (see example of package at bottom). These certainly remind one of Big Daddy Roth’s illustrations. You can view more odd rod illustrations here.

At 3.5″ x 5″ this isn’t too big, but it sure looks interesting.

While Paul Lanquist’s CJ-3A looks pretty accurate, the background doesn’t look like the parts of Bryce Canyon National Park that I’ve seen.

Here’s a standard print by Paul. It can be printed on all kinds of items:
