UPDATE II: Was this called a Western Jeep rid because it used the Western toy Jeeps? 

===================

Originally posted in 2013: Dan notes in the comments that this particular ride was ‘made by Vernon L. Spalinger Industries in Spokane WA. It was called the “Western Jeep”.’  These were very common rides at one time. This ride was also known as the Jeep-a-round.

“VERY RARE pamphlet from Santa Claus Land, Indiana. includes map of the grounds and of the state. Lots of pictures, facts, history and information about this amazing 1950s attraction!”

“Hello, We are selling our 1946 Willys Jeep. It has the original 4 cylinder engine that was rebuilt entirely and runs like a top. We have the title. Lock-out hubs, After market high torque starter and original starter. All fiberglass body, hood, grill and window frame are steel. Hasnt been driven for a while but starts right up when you pour fuel in carb.

The carburetor was rebuilt but could use to be cleaned and replace fuel pump to run better. One brake line is broken to the master cylinder. Radiator was re-cored. Top is in good shape as it was never used. We are open to serious offers but please, no “low price” offers. A real fun fixer up project for someone. If this listing is here it is still available. Thank you,”

Tremaine told me he recently visited Frank Lloyd Wright’s Falling Waters and Kentuk Knob homes. At one of the gift shops there was book of Wright’s car collection, as he owned roughly 85 different cars over his life time. The book noted that at he owned three different jeeps over the years: a 1946 CJ-2A, a 1948 CJ-2A ‘Lefty’, and a wagon. While I was unable to locate a pic of the wagon, there is a photo on a Barrett Jackson page showing Wright’s two CJ-2As amongst some Crosleys.
