1968 Postcard of Tour Jeep in Virgin Islands

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features, Postcards • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I just purchased this Tour Jeep postcard off of eBay that shows an FC-170 tour jeep in the Virgin Islands in 1968. I searched for additional information on FC jeeps in the Virgin Islands, without success.

Back in 1987 (like 10 lifetimes ago!) I toured St. Thomas in a tiny Suzuki Samarai and in the back of a taxi. The FC would have been a much cooler way to see the island.

1978 Hinkle’s Sales Brochure

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

The Clemson 4-Wheeler Center shared this vintage 1978 Hinkle’s brochure. Hinkle’s billed themselves as the world’s largest jeep dealer.

The center seats shown on page 9 for the CJs was something I don’t think I’ve seen. I also thought it was interesting that the company listed X-style and PCV-style Desert Dogs, but not the standard type.

1955 CJ-5 Crawford, GA $15,000

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Tom shared this rebuilt CJ-5. I haven’t seen an early KS speedometer with that tall of bezel (outer circle). Maybe it is the light color of the outer ring that is throwing me off.
