I was told by the second owner, who was the caretaker of the property of the first owner, that Willys would occasionally call them up to do a show that was in the area. They would take the vehicles clean them up and bring them to the shows. Then they would be given back. He would assist in getting the vehicles and giving them back. This care taker also had a garage he ran.
I surmised that since there was no interstate transit system yet that this was a great way to have vehicles in the area where shows were. The gent died so I cannot ask anything further. His son died also but he has other sons.

Actually it could be the same one. Mine did come with a bumper weight. I wonder if this show came before the jeep was delivered at the factory to my owners. They could have taken pics of the jeep with the bumper weight and then put on the Capstan winch. The kid in the photos said they were suprised by the inclusion of the capstan winch.

Great information! When I was around 5, I went to work with Daddy, who worked in the OK oil fields. It was such great fun for me! I remember the smell of the canvas top and siding.

I wonder if that one could be Bill Oakes jeep. It seems to be a pretty popular photo subject, and has the same accessories if I am remembering right.

This one has the serial number plate but you can't read it.

Cool pic. I wish it included the serial number plate. I saw the other photos that go with this one, and the fire wall doesn't have a serial number tag which indicates that it's a very early 45.

to many jeeps, parts, and accessories to list here, but apparently enough to keep me in trouble with my wife. |

Those old Life Magazine photos were taken in my "backyard" along the old Anza Trail, and more specifically up Palm Canyon from Borrego Springs to Terwilliger (southeast of Anza) in Anza Borrego State Park. Plug these coordinates into Google Maps: 33.42204, -116.4768. They probably went up the Sage Road from Hemet to Highway 79 where Berg's Roadhouse was located. I'm not sure you can still make the drive up or down Palm Canyon anymore. I did it in the mid-1980s (up canyon in a Toyota Truck) and it was an adventure. The 1949 trip was coming down canyon which is usually easier, but looks like they had fair amount of water running through the canyon, so there could have been some hairy washouts in a number of areas.

Also a nice look at the front license plate holder.
