I don’t know when this image was taken, but it’s a fantastic racing shot.  The racer was photographed by Melissa Farlow at Naukati, Prince of Wales Island, Alaska.  I wish I knew if this appeared in a specific issue of the magazine.

(10/10/2012)

I bought a book from the 1960s full of photographs from America’s National Parks, called “America’s Wonderlands The National Parks National Geographic“.  As you can see in the link, I paid a whole $1.60 for it.  On Page 222-223 I found this photograph of two jeeps wandering through Canyonlands National Park.  It’s too bad the photograph is slightly split by the binding.

Photo of 1965 Mitsubishi J32F Fire Jeep from Japan on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Features, Fire/Police/Industry Vehicles • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I thought the hoses on this fire jeep were unusual.  I would think they would flap around in the wind when driving?
