Wood Toy Possible Kempro Kit? **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Features, Models, toys This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This toy is about 8″ long. Seller thinks it might be a Kempro Kit toy.

“Here is a nice sturdy toy car. Unknown maker. Quite possibly was a Kempro Co kit.
It is well made, and has been played with. I love Jeeps and have had a few. This sat on my desk at the shop. Unpacking some boxes the other day, I came across it again.
It shows some signs of age, but otherwise is in very good condition. Nice hardwoods used. ”

Little General Ride On Jeep on eBay

This is a cardboard ride on jeep that was never opened. I imagine these jeeps didn’t last long. This particular package remains un opened. The seller has a pretty steep price on it.

“UP for sale, I have a vintage 1960’s Little General Ride On Jeep. I can’t believe I have decided to sell this, as I have had it in my collection for over 20 years, and have never seen or heard of another. This is still mint sealed in it’s original bag package, which the package boost 2 toys, ride on Jeep and a free military poncho. Well guess what the poncho is part of the bag and you cut it out.

Toy was produced by General Box Co. of Illinois. The bag measures 40″long and about 13” wide. The toy was offered in the comic book ads of the 1960’s as a full ride on Jeep with a dress up military poncho. Who could forget those ads in the comic books? I remember wanting the Polaris Nuclear Submarine, but there were many others including a tank, spaceship and this here Jeep. They were all constructed of printed cardboard and companies like Honor House products seemed to advertise the heck out of these pieces at $4.98.

U.S. Army Amphibian Jeep (Quack) Model & Video

• CATEGORIES: Features, GPA (SEEP), Models This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I just picked up this U.S. Army Amphibian Jeep model (1/2″ scale). It’s dated 1943 from the Mod-Ac Manufacturing Company, LA, California. It looks complete. I’ve never run across a reference to these being called “Quacks”, but it makes sense given the larger ones are referred to as “Duks”.

Here’s a video of some “Quacks” in action during their testing dates at the Ford Rouge Plant. Lots of video shots I have never seen.

The RC FC-170 (and Other RC Videos)

• CATEGORIES: Features, Models, videos This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Well, there was supposed to be a post above this one (hence the “mutant supersized jeep” comment), but the post scheduler did not automatically post it. That’s a tech fail!

From a mutant supersized jeep, we turn to the Mini FC. Scott reminded me that I hadn’t shared this video of Headquake’s FC-170 RC jeep. A couple years ago I featured another of HQ’s projects, the RC MB. You can see other projects (200 videos) on Headquake’s Youtube channel, including a CJ-5, a Jeep Rural, a Cherokee, and a Wagoneer,

Geoff wants to let folks know about a friend of his who makes wood jeeps. If you are interested, email Fred at fredmaybee@Yahoo.com. It looks good!

“The following pictures are of a wooden Jeep that I had purchased from a local gentleman.  He charges $30 plus shipping per copy for common wood.  Prices go up depending on the choice of specialty species of wood, to cover the cost of the raw materials.”

“Gold Plated” Executive Gift **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Features, Models This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Having the box makes this one unique. But, it appears the bumper has been broken.

JEEP embossed in tailgate is crisp and clear. “Gold plating” is in great shape with some tarnish that I will leave to the buyer to clean. Only blemish is right front bumper is typically broken.
