This is my dad, Dale Johnson,... This is my dad, Dale Johnson, back in 1961 taking a break one cold Ohio morning. Now this area is a populated mall instead of open farmland. I believe it is a later CJ-2A, but I have also heard from my dad it is a surplus Willys MB. The Jeep used to help local motorists in the area by jumpstarting, roadside repair, picking up parts, and whatnot back when service stations did more than sell coffee and muffins. That Jeep sure was worn-in good.

Hemet, California |  This is my dad, Jerry Smiley,...  This is my dad, Jerry Smiley, with an MB in Hawaii while in the Marines during the Korean War. Note the modified bumper, no blackout drive light, and the raised windshield top, which was a common mod to keep the top from beating your head while flapping! My dad was a buck sergeant, a rank long since retired. I am building a replica MB using the buweps number in the picture.

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania |  This is a photo of Lyle Borland,...  This is a photo of Lyle Borland, of Oak Grove, Missouri. This photo was taken in 1944 in Europe. Lyle was a staff sergeant-mess sergeant for General Omar Bradley's headquarters. Lyle liked the military jeep so well that he bought a rare column-shift CJ-2A Jeep in 1946 and used it as the main family transportation for at least 16 years.
