1949 Photo from Colorado River Crossing

This Utah State Historical Society photo by Jack Breed from 1949 is just beautiful! Three unidentified men are standing around a National Geographic Society Jeep, part of a Society exploration party into southern Utah. They are observing the site called “Crossing of the Fathers” at the Colorado River. I shared a color version of this photo back in 2013, but the black and white photo is equally beautiful.

1944 Photo of Holden Ambulances in Saipan on eBay

Great press photo of a couple Holdens.

“1944- Willys Jeeps, fitted with stretcher racks, pull up to this wrecked Japanese building on Saipan which the U.S. Marines are using for a hospital. The zig-zag camouflage didn’t help much as evidenced by the hits scored by Naval and artillery fire in the early part of the campaign”

The March 1956 issue of Willys News featured the Florida Power Company’s grounding-rod driving unit attached to Willys trucks. A long article follows the photos.There were at least four of the speciality units produced. I wonder if any exist?
