    CJ2A woody

    I spotted this CJ2A peeking through the rotting fence of an old wrecking yard in London, Ontario. The home made wood body is unique. It's been sitting there for a long time, but the city is demanding that the new property owner clean it up. Sad.

    Early mud runner

    I had a rare opportunity to go for a ride in this freshly restored 1912 International Harvester Auto Wagon. It's powered by a flat two cylinder engine and has a two speed transmission (slow and slower).
