1977 Flood Damages Postal Jeeps
This photo from 1977 shows some postal jeeps that were caught in a July flood. This was featured on the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum site.
“Postal inspectors were deployed to western Pennsylvania following a devastating flood, which was caused by a massive thunderstorm on July 19-20, 1977. These jeeps, swept away by the enormous force of the floodwaters, were recovered half a mile from the Windber Post Office.”

1948 CJ-2A San Antonio, TX $7750
Greg shared this one. It looks solid. The body might be a repro given the glove box. It lacks drain holes and doesn’t have the Willys script on the hood.
