This unrestored Willys MB has found a new home, Thanks to ACC Auctions!

The auction for the original, unrestored 1945 Willys MB ended earlier this week on All Collector Cars’ auction site, and the final sales priced ended up being $21,000. This price ended up being right in the middle of the Army Jeep’s pre-auction estimate that had it valued between $16,700 and $27,400. That price seems pretty good considering that it’s getting harder to find these Willys MBs in solid shape, but some of the truck’s value could have come from the unique lineage of its past owners.

According to the auction listing, this Willys MB was purchased by its current owner from an Army Captain, who had been the third-generation owner of this Jeep. In addition to its Army green paint and tan top, this MB still has the functional Army vehicle look with the shovel and axe mounted on the side and the fuel can and spare tire mounted on the back.

While many MBs have had gun mounts and other fake war memorabilia tacked on, the only parts not original to this one are the soft top and canvas seat covers. Everything else is in all-original condition, and the winning bidder will even get some spare parts!

This 1945 Willys MB is definitely showing its age, but it has been maintained and stored in a climate-controlled barn. In its current condition, this Willys MB would be perfect for parade duty, but a good restoration would transform this ex-military vehicle into a full-fledged show winner. The good news is that everything works, and the Willys runs strong thanks to its original driveline consisting of the 60-horsepower 2.2-liter inline-four cylinder, three-speed manual transmission and the two-speed Dana 18 transfer case.

Carcinogens and Classic Car Restoration. Should we be Concerned?

Hunting down and purchasing the collector car of your dreams can be an amazing experience. However, before you can enjoy all the glory of your new wheels, there is often a period beforehand of customization, restoration, or updating and modernizing. Of course, this varies depending on the condition of the vehicle at the time of purchase. We all know that car, motorcycle and RV enthusiasts are up for any job, and the scarcity, rarity and desire for a specific vehicle can motivate any restoration project. Whether you plan to put in the hours at a do-it-yourself pace or have a professional shop complete the entire project, it is important to understand the potential dangers that can hide under the hoods of automobiles from decades past.

Relaxed standards and few regulations throughout the industrialization of the automotive industry (1920-1970) have introduced us to some unique vehicles from the past. However, with lesser regulations comes greater risks. Dangerous or outdated components which were once popular to use across a variety of parts and from a plethora of suppliers still present a health risk to drivers, passengers and mechanics today. Classic cars have been proven to contain higher levels of harmful toxins including asbestos, lead, and aged fluids. It remains nearly impossible to pinpoint specific manufactures that sourced the supplies that are now known to contain these carcinogens. During this time, toxins and their potential impacts on the health of communities was not a major concern.

Below is an overview of what to look out for when restoring, repairing, or maintaining your vehicle. Learning what to look out for can greatly limit your risk of being exposed to harm while enjoying your hobby.

Toxic Materials to Watch Out For

Asbestos:

One of the most dangerous materials that is found inside antique vehicles is asbestos. Asbestos is most commonly found under the hood of classic, vintage or collector vehicles. Asbestos is known for its insulation of high heat and its electrical resistance capabilities. Asbestos was once a common additive in car parts that experienced high levels of friction. Today we still find trace amounts of asbestos across a variety of automotive clutches, gaskets, hood-liners, and brakes. When asbestos containing materials are disturbed, fractured or broken, asbestos dust from the wear down of these parts will collect inside the brake housing or clutch compartment. When someone tinkers with or repairs these components, they are susceptible to breathing in these microscopic particles. When asbestos particles are inhaled, they can become lodged inside vital organs in the chest cavity, most commonly being the lungs. Asbestos is the only known cause of mesothelioma, an uncommon but completely preventable cancer with a historically poor prognosis.

Phenol:

Phenol is a toxin found in the fluids used in engines, transmissions and other car parts. If skin is exposed to phenol, burns can occur. Inhaling phenol vapors can cause internal burning along the inside of the nose, throat and lungs. In rare cases in which the brain is exposed to phenol vapors, seizures and comas can present.

Lead and Cadmium:

Lead is another toxic material that is commonly found in classic cars. Lead chromate was frequently used in white, yellow, red and orange paints. Exposure to lead can damage the body’s organs, tissues, and most commonly the nervous system. In addition to lead, cadmium is another toxin found in vintage automotive paint. Cadmium can be fatal when it is sanded down and dust particles are inhaled.

Bromine:

More than 275 different chemicals are used in the interiors of cars. Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are added to plastics to make them less flammable, these chemicals are colloquially known as bromine, which is one of the most common toxins found in cars today. Bromine can be found in seat belts, car seats and even plastic dashboard pieces. Decaying and flaking components can lead to the mistake of breathing in bromine. This exposure can lead to reproductive issues, memory loss and other harmful health complications.

Mindfulness and Prioritizing your Wellbeing:

Your toys and hobbies are only as fun as they are safe. While completing any work on classic cars, always take all necessary steps to protect your health. The environmental protection agency (EPA) has published insightful information geared towards safety precautions while completing automobile refinishing and restoration projects. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the United. States Department of Labor has published best practices for managing automotive asbestos dust to further inform and protect those impacted by this line of work.

A Classic Collectors Item: State License Plates

Classic cars are a favorite among collectors and even hold deep roots in pop culture — think the Aston Martin DB5 in Goldfinger or The General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard. But what many don’t realize is that license plates are just as much a part of automotive history and as the vehicles they’re on. In fact, they have a unique story of their own dating back to the early 1900s.

When the vehicle boom took over America, there was no such thing as license plates, but as more drivers took to the roads, it became necessary for authorities to enforce driver accountability — hence the birth of the license plate. In 1901, New York governor, Benjamin Odell Jr. signed into law, a bill that required owners to register their motor vehicles, and as they say, the rest is history.

License plates started as homemade tags made from leather, enamel and even wood that held owners first and last initials. As more drivers needed vehicle registration this system evolved into the random strings of numbers and letters on metal plates that we use today. To celebrate nostalgia and learn more about these prized collector’s items, CarRentals put together this guide that looks at the evolution of their favorite license plate designs in the U.S. — while giving you juicy tidbits about their humble beginnings.
