Some more pics!




This time I have add one shot taken by mr. Oliver. The jewel is a Spanish made (should I said "assembled"?) CJ3B, called by the Spanish army, or "Ejército", CJ-3-14. "She" looks like a monument, waiting to be transfered to the MOMA (Museum Of Modern Art) at NYC!!! Take a look at the "Jeep" rectangular data plate, located at the left of the grille, bottom of the lights.

More pics: a couple of CJ5s (I think), this time taken by M. Ezkurra at New Jersey. Cool machines, with the snowplows!!!!

Enjoy the pics!

Some pics from mr. J. Oliver




This time I´ll add several pics taken by J. Oliver: an ex-Spanish army (ET or Ejército de Tierra) REO US made truck, with a Spanish Barreiros diesel engine, 6 cylinder. Also the M37 Dodge (a post-war model) has been changed to a Perkins diesel engine, 4 cylinder. The Willys MB jeep (I think a 1945 model) has been restored by mr. Oliver. A really nice work!

A "voyage" to Mauleon, France










Latest 23th August 2005, I meet with a French couple from Mauleon (French Basque country) who own a Spanish made Willys-Viasa CJ3B jeep. A real gemn! The vehicle is in really good condition, as "she" was restored by a French jeeper, Cristobal, who unfortunately died some months ago. Rest In Peace, mon ami!

But fortunately, the widow decided to sold "her" to a good friend of him, and now the jeep is in good hands...just awaiting for a Femsa starter!!! Buf!
