NEW CJ-3A BOOK BY BOB WESTERMAN

Post by Joe Gopan » Mon Aug 23, 2010 9:37 am

It is dynamite! If you are a CJ-3A fan, you will not put it down until you read every single page. It is loaded with history, photos and data presented in a manner guaranteed not to bore you. It also touches on CJ history from the beginning during War years along with rare photos and history of Willys Military Jeep development from Post WWII thru the CJ-3A period. This is a "must have".
There are many excellent Jeep books but none that have given me instant flashback thru 60 years in time.

Great to know...Where can you get a copy? Ordering information please!
Even in a "Leave It To Beaver World", there is always somebody named Eddie Haskell.

I can bring some with me on Saturday but I don't have a swap meet space so it could be difficult to locate me.

An interesting delemma. Does Dennis Spence (Portrayl Press) still have a space there ?? Perhaps someone there can sell some for us to buy.
There are some Red Ball members with indoor spaces ----

Maybe call him on his cell or see if Gilmore will share a corner of his table?

If anyone with a space wants to sell some of the books I will leave a bunch for the day. They don't take up much room, only 8-1/2 x 11" :lol:
