Yesterday I featured an ad that related a story about jeeps lashed to the decks of Submarines.

This article was published in the February 10, 1944 issue of the Eugene Register Guard:

I found this article on page 5 of the January 10, 1944, edition of the Southeast Missourian Newspaper:

And from page 2 of the February 10, 1944, issue of the Spokane Daily Chronicle:  

And, on a note of trivia, I found this gem at an archived site:

In World War II, Burton Baskin of Baskin Robbins fame, was a quartermaster who began his ice cream career by trading a jeep for an ice cream freezer

Now, I don’t know if that’s true as I couldn’t verify it anywhere else, but a fun fact if true.

Here’s a rare newsletter.

“Here is a vintage 1978, The Jeep Line Newsletter, from Toledo Ohio, Volume 2, number 2. The newsletter is in very good condition. There are a couple of small pen marks on the back page. It is complete with 8 pages in it. Sorry about the reflection from the light. I do ship internationally. Please email me with any questions.”
