Wow... this is a first! "Nose Art" on a WW2 Jeep!
I've never seen that before!
The canvas flap that protects the passenger from mud and muck that flies up from front tire splashes, is something I don't remember seeing before also, but anyway, this photo was colored in, and the artist can't figure out the word under the pin up art. Any ideas?

Jeep vs tow truck, Chicago... you already know who wins, you only wonder how
the info with the video says the Jeep was getting towed out of Walgreens at Clark and Ontario,
However, the driver did not appear to hear the man, who then started the Jeep and managed to pull free of the tow truck and drive away from the scene.
Workers with Protective Towing, the company identified on the side of the truck, declined to comment on whether the driver knew there was someone inside the Jeep and whether the vehicle was properly secured before managing to get free.

I just learned of the Army Medical Department Museum, at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio Texas
Vehicles, including field ambulances, hospital trains and aircraft showing the history of medical evacuation and treatment of the wounded in transit from 1775 to present.

Recently acquired artifacts contributed to the Museum through the Foundation are a 1955 Willys MD-A, M170 Front Line Ambulance, an H13 D Model (Korean War) helicopter, and a UH1 Huey from the early Vietnam War.

The original U.S. Army Medical Museum was founded as a research facility in Washington, D.C., in 1862. Today, the institution is known as the National Museum of Health and Medicine of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. In 1920, our Museum was re-established at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, with the Medical Field Service School. In 1946, the School and Museum were transferred to Fort Sam Houston, Texas. In 1955, the Museum received its designation as the U.S. Army Medical Department Museum from the Surgeon General of the Army.
The details of how the wounded were moved, from horse drawn wagons, then trains, through Jeeps to helicopters are very well presented along with genuine examples of many types of military ambulance transportation. Included is a hospital railroad car built in the 1950s and actively used in Korea. This car, which is remarkably well preserved, represents the final evolution of military medical transportation by rail. By the 1960s just about all injured troops were being moved by specially equipped road vehicles, helicopters and jet airliners.

an unusual Jeep model that I've never heard of or seen before or since, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 65
It causes me to wonder how many strange single year model trim packages that there have been that we never noticed, and were so blah that we just don't care?
remarkable Jeep test drive course installed in Vancouver

River in the City –
Fast Facts: 1,000,000 pounds of boulders, rocks and sand (2500 sand bags), used throughout the set to break up water flow and give surface disturbance;
Water (250,000 gallons) was pumped onto the street with water pumps hidden in the alley and placed in key spots. (The water was recycled using a closed water system that pumped water from the end of the street back to the top. The water was eventually discharged down the street, into Vancouver Harbor.);
400,000 pounds of snow – the snowbank was made of snow blanket and fish-ice; Logs, sticks, moss, and 80 fir/hemlock trees lined/covered the street. (The trees were boxed and returned to the nursery and boulders, gravel and other materials were also repurposed.);
and Two wolves were on set. (The domesticated, mixed-breed wolves were made available from the Animal Insight for Film and TV. A representative from the American Humane Association was on set to attest that the wolves were treated humanely and procedures were followed. Observers were able to take pictures with the animals.)
