When two loves converge

Post by Willys »

Today was our town's annual streetfest. I was there early to enter my 1953 CJ3b in the car show then, later, met up with our community band to run through a few marching band tunes prior to our performance at streetfest.

I was thankful for the backpack straps on my bag as I trekked the 4 blocks to my Jeep. The Cerveny ended up riding shotgun on the way home.

What a great looking bag!

The Jeep’s not bad looking either.

Now that's my idea of a Jeep. Hope you have a seat belt for the horn. The naked horn would be a nice display along with the Jeep. Just chain the bottom bow to the brake pedal. Much cooler than a skeleton.

It doubles as a soft top for the Jeep.

Tofu, your chronology from Willys through Stellantis rings true. And, I'll take my '53 over any of the Chrysler made jeeps. They seem to be unable to design a frame that lasts more than 20 or so years.

Regarding the basic design, aside from decades of production under the jeep name, Mahindra (and a few others) have manufactured and sold essentially the same design globally as well.

In my original post, I neglected to mention the presence of my new Blokepiece OG Ultimate. I was out of town when it arrived so I grabbed it to use for a fun little set Saturday. As others have noted, I am quite well-pleased with the new mouthpiece. And, I'm looking forward to more time with it.
