What is History on Wheels (H.O.W) ?
Originally, History on Wheels was called the Australian Jeep Register(AJR). The creation of AJR was initially setup as a research body to locate jeep information, which it did successfully. Later it was directed to aid prospective and current WWII Willys/Ford jeep owners, both in a technical and historical Military sense. The AJR operated for many years and helped jeep owners get their vehicles back on the road, or with vehicle histories.
The AJR started to evolve and so was the demands placed upon it, so a more appropriate name was created.
This organisation is solely researched and run by a fellow jeep owner and is the only computer based source of cross related historical WWII jeep data in Australia. Preserving the overall data about Australian military jeeps today, for tomorrow.
HOW presently holds some 17,000 WWII jeeps (chassis') and 10,000 jeep trailers on record.
With any jeep or trailer of Australian usage, I should be able to advise:-
- what its Australian Military Registration number was (Army, RAAF or RAN).
- what engines it had, or should now have.
- when the vehicle entered or left Australian service.
- if it was ex-American. Plus its USA registration number (<10% of Aust jeeps)
- was it rebuilt in Australia. By who and when.
- if there is a photo available for that jeep.
- decode or provide Australian vehicle markings, placement, colours etc.
- possibly where it served both during WWII & postwar
- jeep trailer registration numbers.
HOW is also familiar with Australian, New Zealand, British, and American vehicle marking systems of the WWII period.
