2017 Colonna Della Libertá

2107-lacolonna-italy

Every year the Italians celebrate the Colonna della Libertá (Column of Liberation). CeePee and his friends from Bavaria once again made their way down to join the event in their jeeps. It had snowed two days prior to their trip south, so it sounds like it was a chilly drive.

CeePee reports they had a good time, as always. One of the people he met for the first time was Italian Gregory Alegi (read more about his trip here), who in 2013 drove an MB with his friend to Toledo. Ann and I almost had a chance to meet up with Gregory, but we couldn’t make the timing work.

On their return trip to Germany, CeePee wrote that his group was nearly swept away with rain. Still, it didn’t dampen their spirits. Thanks for sharing your trip with us!

Navy CJ-3A Data Plate

UPDATE: Jeffrey’s Data plate:

Screenshot_20210902-121246_Messages Screenshot_20210902-135009_Facebook=============

Originally published May 01, 2017: Nick Oxender added this data plate from a Navy CJ-3A to his collection. According to him, this one was found at a flea market 5 years ago. It’s in excellent shape – the only “wear” being from the dash screws. The previous owner suspects one of the guys was out on the town and totaled the Jeep, and all that survived was the tag. Either that, or someone thought it looked nice and swiped it.

This data plate was so nice Nick was skeptical about whether it was real or not. After quite a bit of research, he found one guy that made a small run of them, but those weren’t produced within the time frame of when this one was found.

Does the CJ-3A page have a list of Navy plates? Might be an interesting this to assemble.

Spotted This Jeep Today

We didn’t have time to stop and inspect it, but Ann spotted this MB/GPW at our local Yoke’s Grocery Store parking lot. It looked in good shape.
