We live in a small farming town called Plant City, Florida. It is the Winter Strawberry Capital of the world. We have a car show on the 3rd Saturday of every month in our downtown. In the Winter months 300-500 cars drive in from all over. I have been attending the car show since we moved to Plant City eight years ago. I have always loved flat fender jeeps. So four years ago I found my jeep listed on Craigslist but I didn’t have all the cash. I contacted the owner and asked if he would consider any trades. He was an avid hunter and shooter, and said he would trade for firearms. The deal was done. I traded four rifles and $750 cash. Unfortunately the rebuild they did on the motor was wrong and 100 mile into owning my jeep the motor completely went and had to be rebuilt. This is when I got to know every page in my Kaiser Willys’ catalog. I was ordering part after part, and calling for advice to rebuild my jeep into a show winning jeep. I often get offers to sell my jeep at car shows, but it is already willed to my three year old daughter who absolutely loves our jeep and going to car shows with her daddy. Thank you for helping us make family memories for years to come.
