This is amazing! I am so much a fan of this entire era of the U.S. What a great upload.

Imagine how many of those guys were WW2 vets, and how they felt about jeeps. They were a fixture in many servicemen’s worst and best experiences. Thanks for this historical document 😊.

5:29 appears to be a prototype Willys based off of the Bantam Reconnaissance Car!

1954 license plates, first year CJ-5's and at the 2:00 mark, then later at camp on the trail, a USA specification 80" series I Land Rover ! The very first competitor for the Willys Jeep. A friends father bought a new one in Reno in 1953. He went on the early Jeepers Jamborees' with it. It still lives, I'm sitting about 100 feet from it right now..... Crazy !! Thanks !!

This is an amazing video thank you for sharing

Thinking 1954 since I only saw two cj5’s and the 5 wasn’t produced until 1954 but was labeled a 1955. I suppose they could be M38A1 but I don’t think you could have bought a military vehicle that early in production and they came with the driver side fender light. Neither one has the fender light on the two I saw in the video. BTW. Way cool video!! Thanks!

The CJ3B started in 53, there are bunch of them in the video. I would assume you’re correct. This is probably from 54 or 55

There was a 55 Chevy in the background, I believe.

I liked how these jeeps made it through the trail on small tires. But today they say that you need a minimum of 35 s. How's this possible,?

Jeepers often misunderstand how capable these machines are in stock form.
