Merry Christmas everyone!

It’s a bit of a somber Christmas in our neck of the woods. Mom has been struggling over the past week with lots of confusion and health struggles. After a 36-hour wait in the ER, she finally made it into the hospital Thursday night. She had an operation yesterday (the 24th) to remove fluids from the sac around her heart. The docs extracted 700ml (which is a lot) and left a tube in to drain more. Needless to say, this indicates her heart is struggling mightily. Without some kind of miracle, she probably has weeks left at the very most. So, Ann and I are having a quiet holiday season at our new home this year.

We hope everyone else has an enjoyable holiday season with your families and friends. And, I hope you all are blessed with good fortune in 2022!

This 1945 Christmas Card was auction on eBay in 2015:

I don’t see enough info in the pic to verify the “462” claim, but I see no reason to doubt it either. It looks like the V6 emblem was painted over when this was repainted.

“This is an 1949 Willys Overland pickup truck. It has the Willys Go Devil L-134 engine, T-90 3 speed transmission and Timken clamshell differential. It is 2 wheel drive. The truck is rust free except a small bubble on the passenger door corner, which there is a photo of that area and the bed was sandblasted and a few very small pin holes are visible. Very light surface rust on the frame if any.

The cab appears original paint but the seat has been recovered and some newer carpet and possibly door panels. The electrical has been changed to 12v. This is a good running truck and fun to drive but I have to many projects at this time and need to downsize. This is a very solid truck and will be an easy project for someone who is looking for an unmolested Willys truck. The truck is located in Louisville, KY. This is a running and driving truck.”

Bill forwarded this article. Looking for a brand new, old school 4WD vehicle? Well, look no further than this Chinese/Russian BAW BJ212. Of course, while you may be able to buy it brand new, getting it to the states (or elsewhere) might be a challenge.
