Early Warn Brochures

I missed out on these early Warn brochures that sold on eBay. There were two hubcap brochures, also known as “summer hubs”. The third brochure (in yellow) touts the Automatic Warn Hub. According to Hugo Vidal, Warn Industries and Hugo’s company AVM had all kinds of trouble with the Automatic hub, so it was discontinued (possibly in favor of the Warn Lockomatic hub?).

Jeeps at the Museum of Military History in Kissimmee

Roving eWillys correspondent Tim Evans braved Hurricane Irma to file this report.

He wrote, “I arrived in Orlando, Florida, last Wednesday (9/6) to attend a conference, but found out late Thursday that it was canceled.  That gave me time to visit the Museum of Military History where I found a M38 and a M151 jeep. Then I began a long slow drive home to Kentucky Friday morning, arriving late on Saturday.”

Always good to see people taking their unpaid, completely volunteer, unheralded work as eWillys correspondents seriously. I may have to upgrade his title to Chief Hurricane Correspondent!

Rick reports that there was a car show this past weekend at the Mushroom Festival in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, that included a couple jeeps. My wife would have never seen the jeeps; she would have been all over the bomb!

Bob’s New 1964 CJ-3B

Thanks to eWillys, Bob just picked up this 1964 CJ-3B. He bought it out of Arizona and had Drew from the Jeep Farm replace the bumper. Because he found it on eWillys, Bob is sending Ann and I out to dinner on him. His support has been great over the years, so a big thanks to him and his wife (pictured in the passenger seat below)!

Nick spotted these mini jeeps in Tierra Amarillo, NM. Those jeeps make him look big!

He writes, “A rare late summer sighting, Willy the mountain giant ventured down from the pine studded hills admiring various preserved Willys’ in Tierra Amarila, N.M.
C store parking lot, north of Intersection of Hwy 64 & Hwy 84.

Keep back unless you have ice cream bars or Snickers to trade.
