One time I carried a moose on the front of my jeep ....

From the Missoulian, a newspaper in Missoula, Mt, comes this picture. A friend of mine spotted in the Sunday paper and thought of us (she's a historian, not a jeep person -- good to have friends all over :-) ).

The caption with the picture: In another photograph from the end of a successful hunt, Eddie Churchwell displays his bull moose in front of Missoula's Fire Station 1 in 1955. The moose was taken from the Lolo Creek area and brought home on a Willys Jeep.

Now we know what the wood slats on the hood are for.

I think this guy took the 1/4 ton rating a little to far!

Now I know why so many NW Jeeps have wooden strips on the hood...
