UPDATE: In a comment below Claudia mentioned that Jarvis Jeep had a very catchy jingle: Beep Beep Jarvis Jeep. Apparently, that jingle was played a lot in Oregon as a variety of folks from Oregon have mentioned it on the internet. I tried to find a commercial with jingle, but no luck. Also, at one time Jarvis Jeep was the largest jeep dealer in the nation. If I’d realized Robert Jarvis was still alive I’d have tried to contact him. Unfortunately, he passed away this past April. 

Apparently, he was quite the character and boxer. According to the article in this magazine, during a boxing tournament in 1946 Rocky Marciano broke his hand on Bob’s head. After which, they became life long friends. (go here to learn more and then search for ‘Jarvis’.)

Here’s an image with the jingle on it that was posted on pinterest:

Craig scanned this from the January 1959 issue of Jeep News. It features the Jarvis Jeep dealership from Portland, Oregon.

1956 Wagon Manassas Park, VA $6000

Might be solid, but has some paint missing on the fenders.

“For sale is a 1956 Willys Station Wagon-with a Chevy 283 engine. I am the second owner of this gem, as I recently purchased the vehicle in Denver, and drove it out here to DC for the summer. There is currently a Chevy 283 engine in her, as it was replaced in the early 70s to provide more power for longer distances. She runs great, body has some defects, but overall, she is ready to drive anywhere, just in need of some simple body work, and a possible paint job depending on your intentions with the vehicle.

Asking $6,000 OBO. Send me an email, or text me at eight0eight-sevenTwo2-zero3one9, would love to answer any questions you may have, and meet to show you the vehicle.”
