261: Jhofre Penafiel’s 1954 Willys CJ-3B
This is a Willys CJ-3B that has been in the family for a long time. It was my dad’s uncle’s, then my dad’s, and he gave it to me when I was nine years old for my birthday. I was very happy to have my first car at a young age and I want that car to go from generation to generation keeping it as a tradition. This car is very popular in my city because we have participated in many special occasions. Thank you for your help with all of those parts you sold us for the CJ-3B because without them our Willys CJ-3B wouldn’t be as recognized as it is now. We are in Azogues, a small city in Ecuador.

Well done in Ecuador!!
I´m restoring a CJ3b in Brazil and will send pictures soon.
Have been connected with jeeps ever since childhood. Travelled many, many kilometers in CJ3b´s. They run in my blood!
Good luck and carry on jeeping!
