FC Dealership Ashtray **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s a cool FC item.
“Kaiser jeep willys jeep forward control. This is a very rare whirl away ashtray jeep dealer promotion item. Purchased from estate of a man who owned a jeep dealership for many years. It is a chrome ashtray with a jeep fc on top. I have done a lot of research and only found one similar which had a cj3b on it. These were only sold to dealerships. And the fc was only made for a few years. You may never see another one. Looks like it will shine up nice . I lest the dirt and grime on it. A bit of rust where the ashes sat. Ask questions look photos over well.”
