Ann and I are driving south monday morning. After an overnight stop in Boise Monday night we’ll be in Salt Lake to visit my boys Tuesday and Wednesday. We decided to take advantage of the lack of snow, the warm temperatures, and low gas prices.

24 KT Gold Plated CJ-5 Retiree Jeep on eBay

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

How many of these gold plated CJ-5 models did Kaiser Jeep make?

“This is a hard to find piece, this was only given to plant retirees in the 1950’s. This jeep is in amazing condition. It still has the 24kt. tag under the hood and the paper telling how to care for the gold plated jeep. I have seen a few of these jeeps but never with the original label and paper. Nothing broke or missing, someone engraved some numbers on the underside. *Measures 5 1/2″ L x 2 3/4 W x 3″ T at windshield. Weighs 1 pd. 4 oz.”

1906 Video of San Francisco

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

No jeeps here, but Ann and I found this 1906 film shot on Market Street in San Francisco hypnotic. Cars, trolleys, pedestrians, and horse-pulled wagons all compete for space. Shortly after this video the entire area burned from the Earthquake.
