This potato sack sold for over $60, though I don’t know the exact selling price. Jevon Aasand (1921-2000) owned the Aasand Potato company, but I’m not sure who owned/managed the Jeep’s Best brand.

1960 “A Jeep Can Go Anywhere” Article
Columnist Russ Leadabrand thinks the jeep is the best way to see California. This column appeared in the June 29, 1960, issue of the Pasadena Independent:
February 1945 Photo on Iwo Jima of Ambulance Jeep
This National Archives photo was taken on Iwo Jima in February of 1945. The Original Caption read: Duck Row—Enroute to the front lines, a stretcher jeep travels a matting runway as it passes a pool of amphibious trucks near the beach at Iwo.
The Jeepster at the I-95 Welcome Center
In 2018 when driving south from Philadelphia to Delaware, a reader recommended we stop at the northbound welcome center along I-95. Unfortunately, as we were driving south, we got a little confused, then we realized that to turn around was going to take more time than we’d allotted. So, we never got to see what was at the Welcome Center.
Yesterday, someone posted a picture of a Jeepster that sits inside the Welcome Center, so now we know what we missed! We’ll definitely stop on our next trip, should we head north on I-95.
1960 CJ-3B Albuquerque, NM $4400
The placement of the speedometer is farther to the right than stock, so this likely has a replacement body (https://cj3b.info/Dating/Dating1.html).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
Here’s a late model (sold in 1964, so titled as such), Tornado-powered wagon. It hasn’t been run for a couple decades. A trailer is available with it if desired. I tried to validate the serial number, but couldn’t locate a good source for 1962/1963 wagon serial numbers.

1959 Wagon Longmont, CO $7500
A lack of a battery suggests this isn’t running? Not sure how the seller concluded this was the Jeepster’s predecessor (I suppose, technically, wagons proceeded Jeepsters, but this wagon was definitely post Jeepster). This wagon includes a gov plate.

“1959 Jeep Willy’s 4×4 Delivery Panel Wagon. Great restoration project for a piece of Americana. This is the predecessor of the Jeepster.
