I know I’m not supposed to be posting today, but Ann and Kasia, my daughter, were running errands when they spotted this CJ-5.   So, they gave chase and flagged him down.  I wonder if the guy thought he’d get jeep-jacked?  On the other hand, maybe it isn’t two often two beautiful women flag him down? Either way, they cornered their prey and shot the picture.   No wonder my beautiful bride is a permanent part of the eWillys Team!  🙂

For those readers, whose French is better than mine, is this 1952 book about a pair of French men, Daniel Barbey and Henri Boucher, who go to New York in 1947, purchase a brand new 1947 CJ-2A ,and take it on an adventure through the US, Central and South America.  The book was publish in 1950.  It would be a good reason to learn French.

The only copies I’ve run across are here:

At last year’s ‘Eagle Fun Days’, which is held in Eagle, ID, where I used to live.  In 2011 one of the carnival rides had had old flat fender jeeps in it.  Here is a shot of one young man enjoying himself.  His grandfather has less pleasant things to say about the event, which you can read in this blog post.
