3 Mighty Mites in Eastern Oregon **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.

The metadata suggests these are in Cedarburg, Wisconsin; However, the description states these are in Oregon (the state, not the town of Oregon, Wisconsin). The terrain suggests these are in eastern Oregon.

1949 Article on the Bountiful Jeep Posse

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

I took a chance on eBay and bought a 1949 issue of the Goodyear’s Magazine for Men off of ebay that mentioned, in the ebay ad, about having an article on a Jeep Posse. The magazine turned out to be a sort-of marketing piece by Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company focused on men and with several interesting articles. Below you’ll find two articles from the magazine and a quiz.

The first article is a pretty early article on Utah’s Bountiful Jeep Posse. The other article covers a man named John Fordon and his business in New York City called “Beck ‘n Call”. Finally, the Fordon article includes a quiz on streets from around the country, names as relevant to day as they were back in 1949.

“The real deal 1947 Willys CJ2A. The jeeps in really good shape given it’s age. For the most part it is stock. It was converted to 12 volt, but I have the 6 volt generator. It starts right up and runs great. Bestop top for it, isn’t in the pictures. Clean title. Collector plates. Tow bar. New shocks and brakes. Tires in great shape. Re-cored the radiator recently. It’s a fun ride. I always wanted one of these since I was a teenager. After playing with it for 10+ years, it’s time to pass it on to the next dreamer.”

1951 Wagon Pasco, WA $11,000

• CATEGORIES: Willys Wagons • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I’ve seen this wagon around town a couple times.

1951-wagon-pasco-wa1 1951-wagon-pasco-wa2 1951-wagon-pasco-wa3 1951-wagon-pasco-wa4

“This cute Willys station wagon is a fun car with 3-speed column shift, overdrive and 2-wheel drive. No air conditioning, power steering or power brakes were available.

It is good looking, with no significant scratches, dings or rust. The paint, chrome and interior are good, it runs great and the ride is very pleasant.

Headlights, brake lights, turn signals, gauges, doors, windows and locks all work well, and she has new tires, brakes, kingpins and radiator. The engine starts easily cold or hot, the transmission shifts smoothly and she will cruise at 60 on the freeway, but is not allowed out in rain or snow.”
