UPDATE: **SOLD**

(10/21/2013) Joe spotted this MB. It has potential.

“This jeep is pretty much stock. It has an AZ title and current plates. It has been in the family from the original sale date… There is a stamp on the transmission that says 1943, from what I understand this could actually be a 1943 that was titled for sale in 1946, but I am not sure on that… Some of the things that have been repaired include: Clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing.. New brakes and lines. New fuel lines and a new gas tank.. New 6 volt battery. The jeep runs good. It starts right and the engine is strong. It comes with a chrome roll bar and a Willys MB Maintenance Manual 1942 which covers this Jeep. We have a number of receipts from parts and work done over the years… plus some extra parts.”

Jeep-Borne Beer Keg

The Princeton graduating class of 1932 used a jeep to celebrate their 15th reunion (in 1947) by hauling a keg in it. This photo was published in the June 16, 1947, issue of Life Magazine (page 60).

The related article takes an in-depth look at the class of ’32 by interviewing and publishing their incomes, job changes, marital status and more. It’s actually a pretty interesting article. I was surprised to see that by 1947 31% of marriages ended in divorce. One of the graduates of ’32 was Jimmy Stewart. Do you suppose he’s somewhere in the back of that jeep?
