Santa got a little help from an M-151 this year. Joe tells me it was a cold drive, but taking Santa for a ride and being last in the parade was fun!

Vintage FC-150 & FC-170 Commercial

Yesterday I noticed an FC commercial making the rounds on Facebook, one I hadn’t previously seen. It turned out to be a shortened version that Brendan from the-old-jeep has posted back in 2010. I’m sure some others out there didn’t see it either. It’s a good one that starts with a comedy routine and then shows an FC-150 & 170 hard at working towing vehicles.

This might be worth a look.

“v6 buick engine, front winch, rag top[new], good tires good condition. Red with black top. Only two owners, brother in law, and myself. No rot, never driven on salted roads. Has always been garaged. Seats are original, however drivers seat has split, with foam showing. Not registered, but ready to drive you home. She’s a real beauty. Great for Alaska’s off-road warriors. In better than good condition.”
