Unclear how much value is here.

“This is a classic Willy military jeep . It needs some tlc really needs a bath lol just dont have the time to invest in it to work on it . My uncle passed away recently and he gave this jeep to me thier is alot of memory s in it we used it as a hunting club jeep . So I hope it goes to soneone who will have as much fun as we had out of it . It does not have current title so Offroad or huntingclub use only. Unless u can reapply for one . The last time its was cranked was 3 1/2 years ago . And it ran like a top but now it most def needs plugs and wires . New battery and little carb work and fresh oil and gas and the basic. And it should be back to its glory days . It has potential and I think it being a jeep milatary vehicle is just plan cool. But if ur interested call or txt greg at 1205 -800-0563 im willing to work on price or possible trade in a foxbody or older mustang in fair condition not worried about the body mybe little older”

Day 19 – Apr. 7th: From McDonald’s to Ruby’s

<– Day 18 – Apr. 6th: Wurlitzer to Wigwam | OVERVIEW | Day 20 Apr. 8th: California Adventure w/ Mrs. Soggy Bottom –>

On the pier @ Huntington Beach, California

On Monday we and my ‘squaw’ awoke in our ‘teepee’ to a beautiful morning. The $70 we paid for a night at the Wigwam was a splurge for us, but we slept well and enjoyed the uniqueness of the experience.

The grounds are nicely kept and the area was clean.

Today we drove from San Bernardino to Fullerton, then on to Huntington Beach, before returning to Huntington.

Our first task of the day was to visit San Bernardino’s contribution to the world: The very first McDonalds in 1948. It turns out the ‘birth’ story of McDonald’s are actually two stories, the official McDonald corp stance and the actual truth. Thankfully, the founder of the Pollo Loco restaurants in Southern California has saved this original history (despite McDonald corp efforts to tell a different story). Even better, he’s made the museum free. Now, I wouldn’t drive hours out of my way to visit this, but if you are near San Bernardino, it is worth a short detour in my opinion.

Though not the original build, that is part of the original sign and this is the original location of the very first McDonalds.

2014-04-07-mcdonalds1

Part of the mural on the side of the building commemorates the launch of the first McDonalds.

According to the McDonald corp, the first McDonald’s was started by Ray Kroc in Des Plaines, IL. It turns out that, yes, the Des Plaines location was the first McDonald’s Kroc started. But he launched that one as a franchisee of the McDonald brothers. It wasn’t until 1955 that Kroc bought out the McDonald Brothers and gained control of the business. Here’s some fast-food info:

Paul’s Maverick

Paul just purchased this early Maverick. Note the emblems on the side. He believes it was blue and white. Though the red paint isn’t the best, he says everything else looks real good.
