Willys M38A1 Jeeps In "Goldfinger"

Above, a M38A1 Willys Jeep in GoldfingerIMCDb.org photo.

At the time that the James Bond movie, Goldfinger (1964) was made, the Willys Jeep M38A1 had been in production for twelve years.

Last night, I was watching Goldfinger. It had been a while since I last viewed it. During prior viewings, my attention wasn't focused on the Jeeps in the movie. Since I now have a 1952 M38A1, they caught my attention. I spotted two Willys M38A1 Jeeps in the movie. (IMCDb lists them as 1951 models in error.)

During the scenes leading up to the attack on Fort Knox in Kentucky, one M38A1 was in the caravan going to Fort Knox. There was another M38A1 containing soldiers supposedly killed by Delta 9 nerve gas.

After spotting them, I got out my cell phone and snapped some photos of the two Jeeps from my television screen.

Here they are:

 




It would be interesting if some Jeep enthusiasts owns these Jeeps today.
