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!

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)!

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.

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