This is a curious model. It looks like someone may have been trying to make a Willys MA.The grille and the double gauges make me think that. Just how ‘vintage’ it might be isn’t clear to me. It’s currently priced at $189.99. No description provided.

Previously Posted February 11, 2019: These images were posted on Facebook and the toy jeeps attributed to Boeing. However, as a commenter pointed out below, these were actually produced by Western Toy Company in 1959. Here are some other examples.
(02/11/2019) These jeeps are pictured in front of the old Seattle Art Museum (we did field trips there in high school) which is inside Volunteer Park in Seattle, Washington.

1957 FC-150 Windsor, CA **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on a BAT auction.
This bring-a-trailer auction was spotted by Sam.
“This 1957 Willys Jeep Forward Control FC-150 was purchased in 1982 by the seller’s uncle and was acquired by the seller approximately six years ago. Power comes from a 134ci Hurricane inline-four paired with a three-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case, and the truck is finished in green and white over a green vinyl interior. Equipment includes locking front hubs along with a shovel, axe, and spare mounted to the side of the bed. Work performed under current ownership has consisted of a refresh of the brakes and carburetor, as well as a 12-volt electrical conversion and replacement of the tires and shocks. This FC-150 is now being offered at no reserve with an uninstalled replacement exhaust system and door panels, manufacturer’s literature, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.”

Tom spotted this M-170. It sure looks like there’s value here.
“1950s M-170 Ambulance Vietnam army Jeep. Will be a complete restore. Told by previous owner that engine is strong. No title-no key. Could work with County clerk to get a classic title rather easily. Turned out to be more than we could do due to family circumstances-basically ran out of time and too many projects haha. Make offer! Could deliver in Lexington over next day or two. Thanks! Open to all offer and or trades”
No Updates Saturday
Next updates will be Sunday.
I got a ton of drudgery completed on the house on Friday (hence the reason for no updates today), from washing the porch, the garage, and the exterior lights, to cleaning the front vinyl fence and completing the trim painting. Whew.
As for the new house, the loan has been approved and we should be signing next week.
We certainly couldn’t ask for a better market for selling: super low interest rates and a super low inventory of houses. We expect that once it is on the market that the house will sell within a few days. This is just a crazy real estate market right now.
I should be an interesting few weeks!
