1942 Photo of WAACS on a Jeep Ride
This photo was published in the August 19, 1942, issue of the Courier-Express. The caption is interesting, in that the woman driver of the jeep had driven ambulances for the Chinese back in 1932!
1945 Photo of Jeeps near Marseille on ebay
The caption notes that both jeeps and men were readied in Marseille for trips to the Pacific Theatre.
Kreisher Drug Store DJ-3A Dispatchers
The DJ’s ‘fleetness of get-away’ was one reason Kreisher purchased these dispatchers. There had to be faster vehicles than the DJ!
1942-43? Photo of first Fire Jeeps
UPDATE: Originally I listed this as a 1941 article, based on a database date stamp. Richard pointed out the stamped grill would make this unlikely. It’s a good point! Additional research suggests the paper was from the 1942-43 time frame.
This photo documents one of fifteen jeeps transformed by the Canadians into fire jeeps. I don’t have a date on the newspaper, but it was published in an issue of the Flesherton Ontario Advance Newspaper.

Paul’s Getting Serious
Paul really seems serious about finishing his jeep! Below he shares photos and updates:
All sidewall and top upholstery panels have been installed so I began cutting foam for the front seats.
Still waiting on the carpet for the rear wheel well tops, the rear floor and the front seat footwell areas.
Here you’re looking at the rear window panel and the left rear wheel well. I think the gray fabric and the stainless steel look pretty good together.
I’m looking forward to getting the seats upholstered. The gray and blue seat colors should add a bit of color to the interior.
Front seats reinstalled, the foam is rough cut and the combination of thick foam for the bottom and thin foam for the back will allow enough room for me to reach all of the controls and still see out the windshield. The side windows are another matter. I should have Sumo-sized my Willys.
