Royal Tournament Crate-to-Jeep Contest Info

Does anyone have information on the crate-to-jeep building races held at Royal Tournament shows during the 1950s (probably earlier as well)? The Olyslager’s The JEEP book references such shows (pg 50 & 51 — see below). I have an old jeep club friend who is trying to find out more information about these to share with a veteran’s group.

A slightly different event also occurred during this time using what were called MALT jeeps, specially built jeeps that could be driven into an arena, taken apart, the parts passed through a hole, and reassembled. I discuss the MALT jeeps a little more here.

The MALT events probably evolved into modern counterparts that have been featured in videos like one below, because the modern contests also feature specially built jeeps.

This seems like an appropriate card, since we’ll be driving through Idaho today. The back of the postcard mentions Gowen Field.

UPDATE: *Status Unknown**  Was $10,500.

(06/25/2016) Nice looking jeep, but the papers on the dash are disheveled, making it look a little messy.

“Full restoration, new metal tub and many new parts, needs nothing.”

1950 Jeepster Phoenixville, PA $8500

Looks solid.

“1950 JEEPSTER which had an amateur restoration 8-10 years ago. The body is solid and the paint is still shinny . A new interior was installed as was a new top. The engine runs fine and most everything else operates.
I haven’t used the Jeepster for years so this Spring I put on new brakes, had the drums turned , flushed the gas tank and installed a new 6 volt battery. It is lots of fun to drive around town and short distances. Good acceleration and easy to maneuver, so taking the grand kids for ice cream on a summer’s evening will be a memory maker.
The speedometer doesn’t work and there are a few scratches that could use a touch up. I’m asking $8500.00 which is a fair price according to Hagerty. ”
