1997 Story of the Jeep in the Toledo Blade

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images, Old News Articles This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

On April 20, 1997, the Toledo Blade devoted an entire section of its newspaper to the jeep history, going all the way back to the construction of the Jewel sewing machine factory in 1885. While it isn’t a perfect history (for example Jeep did not copyright the name JEEP in 1946, they tried, and failed, to trademark it at that time), it’s still interesting with some photos and a historical time line.

The Miami News reported in 1956 that wives will love driving the new FC-150. I wonder if anyone bothered to interview any wives on that topic . . .

Gus is a 1965 Willys originally from the south west, which means NO RUST. A retired man with a history in restoring military Jeeps saved Gus from the cutting torch. A few misguided teenagers concocted a plan to cut Gus’ fenders and make him into a “rock crawler”. Our retired friend couldn’t let that happen, and decided restoring and upgrading Gus would be a great retirement project.

$11,800 – We are open to trades, prefer interesting/older cars.
