I was supposed to report on our trip, meeting Lloyd, and seeing Robin’s collection (and stopping by Montana Wheat). However, once again, I’m am exhausted from a long day of driving. The good news is that we made it back to Pasco and I completed some updates. 🙂

On Wednesday we have one more day of driving. We’ll be heading back to Seattle, to Auburn, to Yelm, and then back to Pasco. But, Ann will be doing some of the driving, so I’ll get the story of our trip up, finally.

Here’s Robin and I in front of his Model D (not T or A) jeep. Yes, there is a jeep under that fiberglass shell. It’s a vehicle I listed on eWillys not too long ago.

“Rusty” Photos

UPDATE: I’ve added engine photos to the bottom of the post.

Rusty was owned and driven (apparently very roughly) on a farm near Billings, Montana. There are numerous welds, necessary to fix the cracks that appeared. The hubcaps have all kinds of dents, as does the body, the grille, hood, and the fenders. No part seemed spared. According to Lloyd, the man we bought it from, he purchased at an estate sale. The fact was, the farmer who owned it refused to sell it while alive, so Lloyd had to wait until he died. Lloyd was told it ran until it was parked and that it was parked due to the man becoming unable to drive it. At least, that’s the story. Still, the engine spins, the tranny shifts, and the jeep rolls easily.

Glenn tells me this was manufactured in late 1955 and made available for sale in 1956. I believe the color is pine tint, not far from the sea foam green color I’d intended to paint Biscuit (before I receive the wrong color from the paint company, but that’s another story).

Here are more than thirty photos that show the good, bad, ugly. What I can’t photograph is the smell emanating from the seats. lol.
