Kaiser Willys, This Jeep was bought by my dad eighteen years ago from a car repair shop in Armenia, Colombia. The Jeep was in use for the first six years but after that it was stored and took heavy damage over the years. We fixed it up a year ago and decided to use the Kayser Willys decals. This vehicle is an eye catcher every time we take it out for a spin. Hope this helps. Sincerely Daniel Torres

Hi Mike, I wanna thank you guys for helping me keep my Willys Fleet in tip top shape for all these years. I've enclosed some photos. The Black Beauty is the princess of my fleet, its a 1949 Jeepster which I had painted black with green accent two tone, it's been modified by the previous owner to have a 1952 F-head six which gives this ol' girl a nice comfortable ride especially with the overdrive. I procured Middleton (1954 jeep wagon 2 wheel with F-head 6) as a donor vehicle for the princess, its equiped with an identical overdrive, tranny, and engine. He was rescued from a barn and the radiator was packed with acrorns! Much to the chipmunks dismay, I got the ol' wagon to turn over then I realized that "Middleton" (after his former owner Middleton Train) was no longer a parts car. He is still a work in progress, nonetheless an object of beauty. The Red Devil (1947 CJ2A) is my fun workhorse that I use to plow and haul hay for the goats. My wife likes to drive the red devil in the summer without the top. The top is an original 1953 Sears Roebuck aluminium half top that provides dryness and warmth in the winter months.

Our 17 year old daughter wanted a jeep to bum around in and take to the beach. We live in Florida. Last year around this time my husband found this jeep for sale from some swamp rats and brought it home on a trailer. He had a vision, however, my daughter and I thought he had lost his mind. This jeep was a wreck! His camera which had the original picture was stolen so the picture of it torn down is the earliest photo I could find. He thought he would have the jeep done for her for her birthday in May. It took a little longer than he thought. With a lot of hard work and many nights in his shop he and his friends rebuilt the Willys. It was completed for our daughter for Christmas this year!

Sirs, My Grandfather (Merl Peters) built this in the 1970s. It is the combination of a 1942 GPW and 1949 Willys. The cab is from a 1950s 2.5 ton truck that he narrowed, the seat is from whatever was laying around, the doors, box and much of the interior are all fabricated from old road signs and scrap metal by Merl. I restored this a few years ago after he died ( with many parts from Kaiser Willys). I added some before shots as well. Thank You Kendall Bassett

Here are some pics of some equipment that has been in my family since it was new. These are off my dad's farm. The HOBART WELDER is in regular use and puts all the late model 2 cylinder Milller and Lincoln 10,000 rpm buzz boxes to shame. This old HOBBIE runs @ 1,800 rpm and puts out a constant 250 amps ALL DAY. The air compressor is a GENERAL SUPPLY with a WILLYS using 2 cylinders to pump air and #'s 1 & 4 to run the engine. It runs good and I use when I need a lot of air for truck tires etc. The MYERS irrigation pump was used right up to a few years ago and should run with just a minor freshing up. I can remember the pump running from dawn til dusk for many, many years.

Attached is an image, c.a. 1950, of Paul Callanan and his brother in law, Dr Julian Doherty at their cottage on Nauset Heights, East Orleans, MA. Obviously very pleased with their catch of striped bass, behind them is their faithful Jeep CJ. Jeeps were the vehicle of choice to navigate the beaches of outer Cape Cod. As a young boy, the most exciting events of the summer were the Jeep rides, whether just to the beach or an extended trip to Chatham to dig clams. I now own a 1967 CJ5 which evokes instant memories of those early days on Cape Cod. The sound, the smells and the various rattles are so familiar.
