Here are a couple photos from the site:
Craig posted this photo from Alaska to the FC Forum that shows an FC trapped among some trees … or perhaps encouraging their growth.
UPDATE: this photo was listed on Ebay.
This July 18, 1945, photo shows Charles Sorenson with T. L. Soong, brother of the Chinese prime minister, talking after the unveiling of the CJ-2A at Cesor Farms in Detroit.
Sitting in the jeep are Sgt. William Sheehan (left) of Boston and Sgt. Woody Turner of Truman, Arkansas. They are heading to New Guinea.
Tractors and jeeps were sold at this dealership.

Here’s a very rare Hamilton pedal jeep.
“This came from the same estate as the great bicycles that I have posted. The condition is very good with no rust or major dents. It is missing only the hood ornament and has a folding windshield. It is all original paint and lettering. This is a rare maker.”
I just purchased this 1947 brochure from eBay. It’s got a few good photos I hadn’t seen.
Commercially produced or home made? The gun ‘pops’ when the gun’s crank is turned.

UPDATE: JW correctly pointed out there are TWO Prince of Wales Islands in the world (perhaps more??). The jeep shown below is located on the Australian Prince of Wales Island, which sites just south of Papau New Guinea (I erroneous thought it was in laska)
This old right-hand appearing jeep was found on the Prince of Wales Island in 2013 and published at Going Strait. Not much salvageable here.
