Kentucky Mountain Scenic 'Jeep' Tours in an FC

This June 28, 1970, article form the Lexington Herald describes tours of Kentucky's Red River area via a modified FC-170. The business was started by Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bowen with a VW bus, but it's easy to imagine that a better vehicle was needed.

I looked for additional articles about this endeavor, but didn't have any luck locating anything.

    That looks like a '65 G10 chevy or GMC Handivan, with the top chopped off. Y'all kin call it a "Jeep" if'n y'all use those quotation marks.

    Bingo is correct in saying that it is a Chevy Van.
