UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

The tires are bad.

“Came across this set of 4 wheels bought them for my jeep. But have decided to go with a different type of wheel. They are 16″ which are more on the rare side, typically you find these as 15″ They looked to be in decent shape. Still have a good coat of paint on them, Actually looks to have a couple maybe more coats of paint in which helped to preserve them. The tires on them have dry rot. If you are not picking these up. I will remove the tires for shipping purposes. I have it marked at local pickup only, however I will ship. Just give me your address for a quote.”

Clowning Around in Hawaii

This photo was at a Pacific History site, though it isn’t clear to me whose site this actually is.  The picture was part of a Honolulu Star-Bulletin newspaper and likely was taken in 1946. According to the caption, “Seems someone wrote in and complained that the newspaper photographer’s Jeep looked “like it belonged in a circus,” so when the circus actually came to town, the photographer obliged. Note the chrome wheels, bumper and grill on this surplus GPW, and the fabric-wrapped steering wheel. I’d be willing to bet the body isn’t olive-drab any more. Suggestions? I’m guessing bright blue.”

On January 7, 1953, Ringling Circus clown Paul Jerome posed for photographer Joseph Janny Steinmetz.  The reason for shooting a clown in a jeep on the beach is unknown; however, Steinmetz lived in Sarasota, FL, so maybe the location was convenient.  Both photos are from the State Archives of Florida.

Note the jeep has both bowholders and possibly a spare tire carrier on the driver’s side.

Walter P. Chrysler Museum Closing (and Sold)

A couple days ago I was adding the WPC Museum to my list of places to visit on our upcoming trip to the East Coast next May/June (official announcement in January).  But, then I learned the museum was closing at the end of this year.

However, John forwarded this link indicating the museum has been sold to the Chrysler Group LLC. So, the 67 vehicles won’t be split up just yet.  Unfortunately, the exhibits will only be open on special occasions.  And, despite how ‘special’ my wife thinks I am, I don’t think I’m special enough that they’ll open that for me.
