Brian invited me over to his house to meet Brian and see the a new Barn find: A 1943 MB. They found just outside the tricities area. It’s got some hat channel issues, but otherwise is pretty solid. It’s also has an engine that Brian got running today. It’s a great find and, except for a lot of very cold wasps, will make a great stock MB. Since they live nearby, they’ve promised me a few additional adventures that include hunting for jeeps. I look forward to that.
Here are a couple photos taken by my favorite photographer (Ann of course). In front of the stock MB is Art’s recently purchase M-38, which looks and runs great. A former Navy Seabee, Art has decorated his jeep to reflect his time in the Navy. Behind that is the ‘barn find’ and then behind that is Brian’s flattie.
And here is one Brian and Art took early of their jeeps on a hill somewhere in the hills somewhere near Kennewick.
Roberto shared the following, along with his newest drawing:
“I send you one of the comics drawn for French bimontly magazine “4×4 Story Spécial Jeep”, translated to English, This is the comic published at issue 46. The subject of the comic was the employ of the jeep during the vintage of wine at France. After WW2 many army surplus vehicle were employed by civilians and of course, at the areas devoted to the well known French wines. In fact, there was at least one winery commercialised a product called “Jeep”. One video at “You Tube”:

Guy spotted this M-38 on the January 14th, 2013, episode of Hawaii Five-O. He managed to grab the below picture. He also found extra links or us too (thanks!). It looks like someone has smeared dirt in places to give it that ‘rough’ look.
