1958 FC-170 @ SEMA

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677, Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Buz was exploring SEMA today and happened upon this built FC. This jeep is part of the “Battle of the Builders”. Buz sent the description written by the builder.

“1958 Restomod Jeep. In the words of Mark Turner, CEO of Daystar Products International, “This vehicle was built to be driven.” To date, Turner’s classic cab forward 58 jeep has many trips including one down to the southernmost point int he United States, Key West Florida. The jeep is built to embrace both hot rodding and off-roading with specific parts that can handle both responsibilities. Under the hood is a late-model 5.7 liter Hemi engine which supplies power to a transmission and transfercase, suitable for on and off road use. The jeep also features 17-inch vintage wheels wrapped in interco tires. Inside, modern amenities such as air condition, leather seating, and cruise control help define the jeep as a dual purpose specialist.”

Halloween 2016

Just a few updates tonight and some pics from Halloween 2016. The crowds weren’t as heavy as previous years. Sunday’s downpours and Monday’s wind may have discouraged some parents.

I didn’t get many pics this year because I wasn’t feeling all that great. But, here are some.

Happy Halloween

Thanks to Idaho Todd for this wonderful 2016 Halloween Willys photo.

I will be spending all (and I do mean ALL) day setting up for trick-o-treaters. My mother-law-law likes to put on a big show for the kids, so we decorate on Halloween day then take everything down after they leave. Hopefully it doesn’t rain this year!

Berg’s Jeep King Mailer

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

I found this great old mailer on eBay. It was likely published at the end of WWII, as there are no references to the CJ-2A. You can learn more about Hyman Berg here.

Here’s the front side of the mailer: berg-jeep-king-mailer4

I’ve split the front of the mailer into sections so it can be better seen. This part shows a closeup of the front and back of mailer when folded:
