The Earliest Photos

Today I ran across the earliest photos I have of our Jeep. For decades the car was stored in a shed on my wife's grandfather's farm. He passed away in 1964. Since then her uncle has looked after the property. I knew there was a vehicle in the shed but Gayle's uncle wouldn't let us open the doors to take a look at it. I took these photos about 4 years ago through a crack between the doors of the shed. If I put my eye to the crack I couldn't see anything because it was too dark. Using the camera and flash I was able to get a hint of what was behind the doors.

Texas Weather

They say, "If you don't like the weather in Texas just stick around a while." A few days ago Pepperoni and I were driving around with the top down and today there's a blizzard warning.

Let's Go For a Ride

It's the first day of winter in Texas and the weather is perfect for a ride with the windshield down. Pepperoni is ready to go. She loves crusin' in the Willys.

Beachwood's Summer Top

It's time to consider getting a top for our Willys. The Jeep in these photos has the Summer Top offered by Beachwood Canvas. Although it is available in several different colors, I believe the beige would best complement the black paint and red trim on our CJ2a.

Too Fine!!!

Okinawa Graveyard

This is a very interesting photo from post-war Japan. Click here to visit the web site of a fellow in Texas whose specialty is military vehicles.

This is a Military Jeep!

The Jeep in this video is an excellent example of a 1943 GPW. Folks often confuse our 1947 CJ2a with a World War II Military Jeep. The CJ stands for civilian jeep. Although similar to the Jeeps produced for the military they are actually quite different.

Clear and Brisk in Texas
