Willys Jeeps in Vietnam in the 1960’s

Thanks guys, thought so, but always good to get other opinions. I’ve been looking for different vehicles for VN back ground . Sorry, didn’t mean to hack your thread. Wayne

Don’t worry about hacking my thread. @namengr

Background vehicles in Vietnam is an amazing subject. And possibly worthy of a thread all on its own.

Here you can see a Mini type estate in the back ground of a film I was watching about the black market in Vietnam

Definitely agree ! I’ve got a few pics I can share if needed… :wink:

H.P.

I can’t help you much on cars, as there was maybe just one up north. It was a 1967 Chevy sedan owned by the U.S. Government. There were lots of busses and Vespas.

This was a subject that I always thought was fascinating. During my time, late war you would see everything from old classics to modern chopper motorcycles! I saw a 45 Harley trike in Vung Tau and years later it was in one of the Time/ Life books. Wayne

Many old WW2 Jeeps were rebuilt into pickups or little buses when incivilian use, not as gaudy as the Jeepneys seen in the Philippines but with a lot of local flavour too.
