UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Marc found this photograph. These jeeps are being shipped from NJ to Capetown, South Africa. The caption notes that vehicles are getting shipped internationally, despite the need for vehicles in the US.

Photos from Subic Bay, Philippines, Bangkok, Thailand, and More

Doug had some more (over a thousand) photos digitized from a variety of southeast Asian places from the 50s and 60s and 70s. They were taken by a man who was in the Navy and seems to have traveled or lived all over. Doug has posted over a thousand pictures on Flickr. There are both location photos and photos of business cards, which I found interesting.

See all of them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/58451159@N00/

Here are a few closeups of photos with jeeps:

Photo of Soldiers on Mariana Island in 1944

Life magazine photographer W. Eugene Smith too this photo on Mariana Island of Saipan during the summer of 1944. You can see more photos at dailymail.co.uk’s site. As you can see, both of these jeeps are MB Slatgrilles. Interesting that the spares are stored in the same place used later by the CJs.

Lee Balterman Photo (3 Men in DJ-3A?) on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Given the column shift and the single speedometer, I think this is a DJ-3A.

“Lee Balterman (3 men in jeep driving) c. 1950

c. 1950 gelatin silver photograph. approx. 6.5 x 9.5 inches. Print has a few very minor crimps and a crack in image area, visible in raking light.
