We’re visiting the in-laws this weekend and that gave me a chance to photograph my FIL’s collection of old Willys trucks. They are great old cars, lots of character and personality. I went out early in the morning, which gave me some wonderful shadows and light.
I had originally planned to post-edit all the images into black and white, but these great colors needed to be seen too. The burgundy rust, bright green moss, and splashed of yellow sunshine.
(Photos shot with a Nikon D60, using an 18-55mm, 55-200mm, 20mm f/2.8 wide-angle, 50mm f/1.8 prime lens, Nikon CoolPix S205 and/or iPhone4)

Impeccable photos as always – I especially like “Here somes the sun” – the colors are outstanding.

Just read one of your replies that answered my question of selling. Over how many years did he collect them?

My dad loved old jeeps. We have one from his collection. I like plush interior most of all.

Pictures 2 & 4 looks like they could have been right out of the Cars movies. Lots of personality!

There is an abandoned farm house near our property with an old rusted car. It wasn’t a jeep though. I don’t know much about cars, so I can’t tell you what kind it is. As always Tara, your pictures take my breath away.

I love cars and jeeps. Always thought if I bought a four-wheeler, it would be a jeep. These photos are beautiful. I wish I could have one! 🙂

At this point, my MIL would pay you to take them all away, but I don’t think my FIL is ready to get rid of any of them.

They are all Willys jeeps, and range in age from ’58 to maybe ’62.
