My NEW jeep is ready

papabear · Apr 10, 2011

Just got off the phone with CARNAC.

Looks like he has my new jeeps ready to go. Just awaiting transport.

Here's a vid:

Mass production of jeeps at the Willys-Overland factory in Toledo, Ohio, during World War II.

PB you will have to replay that video in slow motion - I think your farm jeep was off in the background getting assembled by hand with two persons [thumbzup]

Speaking of that farm jeep - has it gotten any closer to the doors of the shop YET :cookoo:

Do you have any pictures where they are packed in crates for $50 . I have been waiting since 1964. I also liked the video.

Heres another vid uglyranger posted on the Guntruck site:

US troop load an LST (landing Ship, Tank) with jeeps in Plymouth, England during World War II.

Tinwoodsman · Apr 19, 2011

I think Zout cleaned up his garage to put in an assembly line like that!

USAFSS-ColdWarrior · Apr 19, 2011

I didn't notice if any others had one, but that last jeep to back onto the LST had a SNORKLE !

PM me for a link. Or search youtube for 185th (I think thats the unit).

Not as good a quality, but CCKW (they were never called deuces or Jimmy's in WWII) out of the crates being assembled.
