1958 Trip Through Needles

This article featuring a Kent Frost jeep tour through Needles was published on May 2, 1958, in the San Juan-Record out of Monticello, Utah. At the bottom I've included an image of the whole paper as I thought the illustrated header of the paper was well done.

  Bingo: I believe that's a Koenig Standard Half Cab Model 335. Here is a better pic http://www.ewillys.com/wp-content/uploads2/2011/03/alan_jeeping_1960_13.jpg
