Ron forwarded this ad. Gary is looking for booklets, information, and spare parts for FJs.

“I am interested in buying information on Jeep FleetVans both FJ3 postal van and FJ3-A Commercial van.  Highway Products Company in Kent Ohio built and assembled the bodies for Jeep for the Post Office Delivery “FleetVans” from 1960-1966 +-
If you or a family member worked there and have any pictures, history, parts, blueprints, records from that time; please get in touch with me. I will be glad to buy originals or copies. The history on this vehicle is sparse; I’d like to improve that.
Also I am interested in buying parts or complete vehicles.”

I ran across this article about Ernie Pyle and his experience in Paris in 1944. I’ve posted it below. The photo is from Paris, but not of Ernie Pyle.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was auctioned.

You can bid online. It is listed as a 1942, but clearly is a CJ-2A.

The web server was down last night, so I didn’t get a chance to finish updates. They should all be up by noon EST / 9am PST and this message will disappear. Thanks!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

Appears to run. Seller thinks this is an MB.

“1951 (MB) 451G Willy’s Jeep. 225 V6 with 4 speed, needs to be restored from the ground up. Comes with hard top and doors.”

Surprisingly original for a Tacoma area jeep.

No updates today, but I did recycle a few old posts below. Ann’s grandfather passed away a couple days ago and his funeral was yesterday (lots of family in town last night). He lived a full life, so more relief than sadness that his suffering is no more.

I’m taking the remainder of the weekend off. Look for updates Monday morning.
