June 17th: Escaping Indiana

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

We hit our goal on Monday of seeing three car museums in Indiana and enjoying lunch with Steve at an old fashioned diner called Schoops. The downside was . . .  when we tried to leave Indiana, we encountered road construction and blocked traffic (I-80 westbound was standstill). What should have taken an hour and a half took three hours. We went right to bed and just woke up a little bit ago. So, there will likely be no updates today.

However, I do have this neat photo Randy shared. The wagon below may have been one of several (exactly how many we haven’t determined) built by Kaiser for touring Hawaii. Note the four doors, extended bodies, and sun roofs. kaiser-extended-wagon-hawaii-randy-colin

Updates Mid Afternoon

I tried to do some updates last night, but the internet wasn’t cooperating. For lack of any other reason, I’m going to blame the storm.  I think I should be able to do some updates mid afternoon.

Here’s a pic from a Willys News paper that I spotted while visiting with Dave Antram yesterday (thanks Dave!). More on that visit later.
