Below is a brochure for Villa Gesell, a resort city founded by Don Carlos Gesell. The brochure was posted to this page, one that includes many pictures, some with jeeps. That could be Don Carlos himself in the driver’s seat of the jeep, but I can’t possibility say it.

This shows Don Carlo’s former jeep. The buyer of it is seated in the jeep. More information here.

Original Post 12/31/2018: Moncholo Deniz shared these pics of a monument to Don Carlos Gesell, founder of Villa Gesell in Argentina (map & history). The monument includes his dog Fifi. Not sure why the sculpture had to include a shovel in the top bow holders.

I tried to locate pics of Don Carlos in a CJ-2A, but couldn’t find any online.

    My first impression, this is an amazing work of art, was it a bronze or stone monument. Then I read the description and learned it was made of plastic resins. Very unique and well done, a lot of detail gives it LIFE.
