Six CJV35/U Willys Jeeps served
in the Netherlands Marine Corps from 1953 to 1969. They were a part of
the Mutual Defense Assistance Program. Apparently 5 of them returned
to the US
Military Advisory Assistance Group in the Netherlands.
This photograph was taken during the 1960s. Dutch
Marines are riding in the trailer.
Registration number
KM-80-37 appears on the front, this registration was
assigned to vehicle serial number CJV-35 10505. The
distinctive front tow hooks, lift rings, headlight guards, combat
wheels, antenna bracket and intake snorkel are all visible on this
V-35. The soft top appears to be a later design than what is
illustrated in CJV-35/U Manuals.
This is KM-80-42, serial number CJV-35 10685,
with motor number V 10797. The photograph
was taken in October 1975. Gloss paint, a passenger wiper
motor, and center rear
view mirror have been added, and the gas can carrier has
been removed. For several years this Jeep was a
service vehicle for the Dutch Army Museum in Delft. KM-80-42
still exists
today as a museum vehicle, now it is a part of the
collection of the Dutch Marine Corps in Rotterdam.
