Jeeps Article from 1953 Cars Magazine

These old car magazines are such fun to explore. The August 1953 issue of Cars Magazine had an article about jeeps. The magazine also contained a strange story from Idaho about the Brink and a Half Club, which seems to involve dunking your vehicle into the Clearwater River. While the article claims US95 hugs the Clearwater River for 150 miles, according to wikipedia the Clearwater is only 75 miles long. I think the author may have confused the Clearwater with the Salmon River.
Finally, I’ve also included an odds-n-ends page which includes a Ford automobile testimonial by noted criminal John Dillinger and the earliest example of a double-ender vehicle I’ve ever seen.
This is the full two-page jeep article blended together. The text can be read in the image below.
Page 1 of the article.
Interestingly, no mention of any asian companies jeep efforts mentioned.
No mention of Vic Hickey made in reference to the top photo. This article from Car Craft does a much better job of covering Hickey.
1955 Article Train Wrecks Jeep

The Ottawa Citizen published an article in March of 1955 about a jeep wrecked by a train. I think we can all agree that the moral of this story is to avoid trains when driving a jeep.
Portland Swap Meet This Weekend

The Portland Swap Meet celebrates its 51st year this weekend (April 10, 11, 12). Billed as the largest parts swap meet on the west coast, the event is hosted by 6 different auto clubs. There will be jeep-related folks there as well. I know for sure Willys America will be attending. As i understand there’s a pretty good showing of other 4×4 parts there, too.
