Spent the night last night in Connecticut and had a nice time meeting extended family I hadn’t ever met. We’ll likely be staying in southern Mass tonight. Then we’ll wind northward through Mass and into Maine. We’ve been talking about trying to reach Acadia NP. More tonight.
Oh, am behind on emails, so I hope to catch up tonight.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
This build looks clean, but having the speakers mounted like they are means you’ll have to cover them whenever jeeping. Maybe that part is removable? The hood scoop is unusually shaped.

Thanks to Gary, I got connected to the Buffalo News, which picked up my story of bringing a plaque of my great great grandfather Rudolph Wurlitzer to the North Tonanwanda History Museum.

CORRECTION: I accidentally wrote that Paul launched this new website when is was actually Kyle.
Kyle Butcher has launched a new jeep club. He asked me to share that information:
This New club merges pre-1970 jeep loving people. It isn’t just for flat fenders but all classic Jeeps. Great start and great group of people. There are also multiple options. You can join as a member and recieve member benefits or just go on the forum and the facebook for free, up to you. http://www.eastcoastwillys.org and east coast willys association on facebook.
This is an organization to bring pre 1970 Jeep enthusiasts together.
To join go to the online store and select membership.
ANYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN AND PARTICIPATE IN EVENTS. THIS IS BASED OFF OF PRE 1970 JEEPS AND EVENTS ARE DESIGNED FOR THOSE VEHICLES.
Joe submitted these pics and question:
Question: What happens when you combine the festive atmosphere of the Texas State Fair, a U.S. Army Band and a battalion of M38 Army Jeeps.
Answer: You have a huge parade and tax the driving skills of 24 soldiers with driving in close-order formation.
These LIFE photos by John Dominis are available for sale on the internet. Do an Image Search on “LIFE Jeep-Borne Army Band”. I count 24 jeeps………. Can anyone identify the name of the city in Texas where this was photographed?

Between Antique Fire Engines, 16,000 toys, and a French Laundry, our trip from Mackinaw City to Fenton, MI, proved to be fascinating and fun. We have plenty of pics to share, but those will have to wait for at least a day.
Happy Mother’s Day MOM!
I’m sure there’s a story behind it, but I fear we’ll never know why a sailor was driving a CJ-3A and pulling a stage through a neighborhood.
“Original vintage snapshot photo, circa 1940s or 1950s. Sailor at the wheel of a Jeep, pulling a trailer that looks to be a stage – “When The Rains Came.” We do not have any details about the location of this photo. Some minor age toning, otherwise a nice image- as seen in scans. Measures about 2-3/8″ x 3.5″
