Willys-Jeep Wood Model with Trailer on ebay

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

This is a curious model. It looks like someone may have been trying to make a Willys MA.The grille and the double gauges make me think that. Just how ‘vintage’ it might be isn’t clear to me. It’s currently priced at $189.99. No description provided.

UPDATE: The University of Washington’s Digital Collections includes the below photo with a more accurate date (1947) and description. According to the UW Library, pictured in the top photo is Joe Woolfe and his grandson

=====================

Previously Posted February 11, 2019: These images were posted on Facebook and the toy jeeps attributed to Boeing. However, as a commenter pointed out below, these were actually produced by Western Toy Company in 1959. Here are some other examples.

(02/11/2019) These jeeps are pictured in front of the old Seattle Art Museum (we did field trips there in high school) which is inside Volunteer Park in Seattle, Washington.

“This 1957 Willys Jeep Forward Control FC-150 was purchased in 1982 by the seller’s uncle and was acquired by the seller approximately six years ago. Power comes from a 134ci Hurricane inline-four paired with a three-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case, and the truck is finished in green and white over a green vinyl interior. Equipment includes locking front hubs along with a shovel, axe, and spare mounted to the side of the bed. Work performed under current ownership has consisted of a refresh of the brakes and carburetor, as well as a 12-volt electrical conversion and replacement of the tires and shocks. This FC-150 is now being offered at no reserve with an uninstalled replacement exhaust system and door panels, manufacturer’s literature, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.”
