So funny Walter!  We just watched that movie and I noticed the jeeps for the first time.  I think my wife just rolled her eyes as I kept pointing and saying "Look! Look!".

Merry Christmas!

Good Morning Everyone:

I am not sure whether this is the right area to post this, or whether it has been posted on the 2A Forum before.  While this is also not about a Christmas Decoration.  But it is about a Christmas tradition. 

Yesterday my wife and I watched the movie Miracle On 34th Street, starring Maureen O'hara.  During the opening part of the movie there are several scenes showing the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York.  According to O'hara's running commentary on the special edition of the DVD, those scenes were shot during the actual parade.  So the cameras were rolling during and capturing all of the normal parade preparations.  It was also the colorized version. 

During the scenes involving the original Macy's drunken, float Santa, you can see the front clip of one or more CJ2A's.  Not much detail there.  One of those appears to be a darker red, possibly Luzon.  However, toward the end of that series of scenes with the drunk, what appears to be a brand new Pasture Green CJ2A puling a float, drives ever so briefly right in front of the camera with a great full length side view.  Of note was the fact that the spare tire rim, sans the tire was on the spare tire carrier on the right side.  It also appears that there is no back seat.

Look for them the next time you watch the movie!

Regards,

Walter

Here is a picture of how we decorate our CJ-3A for Wheelin' for Toys. This is an annual event held at Kansas Rocks Recreation Park near Fort Scott, KS to collect for Toys for Tots.

Occasionally we let Santa borrow it to deliver presents to those "hard to get" to areas.

Ben,
I done the same thing this year, my wife used 140 lights on the grill, she went up and down the slats.
The only pic I have of it is a fuzzy camera phone or I would post a pic.
