Just wanted to share a few pics from the way-back machine. The first is of the jeep in what used to be Standale Sales & service (you'll have to take my word but for it but the jeep is next to the remaining walls on the right). Surviver of a category 5 tornado. The next pic is of my older sisters on the jeep. I'm about a month old, which gives credence to the fact that I was riding in the jeep in the womb. I've heard of duck and chickens "imprinting" on objects but humans?? Joe Wadoyado

    I see I have a few years on ya youngster, but I think 80% of 50's kids where Fess Parker wanabes and I thought it was Davy Crockett not Daniel Boone......shouldn't a Texan at heart know that? Joe W

Actually you are both right, Fess Parker played both characters over the course of his career.

He was Daniel Boone AND he was Davey Crockett in a different series.

My dad got out of the Navy in 1962 in San Diego, CA.  He was going to buy an Austin Healey or a Jeep, whichever he could find first.  Obviously, if I am posting on this site, he found a 1950 CJ3A which started life as a Border Patrol vehicle for the California/Mexico border.  He drove it home to Washington state and that started our family's love of Jeeps.  This photo was taken around 1964 and this is my dad and grand dad and their 30-30 Winchesters.  Can you imagine buying this Jeep when it was only 12 years old?

Dualmatic locking hubs?  I've seen many, many more pics of Jeeps with those hubs than any other hubs.  Were they the best-selling hubs around?

Very cool photo; jeep, family and rifles.  I wonder what's with the stripe along the bottom?

Although this thread is only 2 pages, it's one of my favorites Smile It's more than just the Willys, it's the family memories. Really Great!
