In a column titled Underwater Puzzle: A Post War Anecdote, an article shares the story (true?) about a lost jeep. This appeared in the December 1, 1944, issue of the Saturday Evening Post.
This article was published on June 29, 1944, in the Sotoyome Scimitar newspaper out of Healdsburg, California. Mario shared it on Facebook.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
Has some updates. Looks like a solid rig. 11″ brakes were original equipment?
