could be. ?????????????
The timeline is correct. It would be interesting to to find the manifest of the shipping documents from the factory.
There were only so many in that time frame to ship to so many destinations with so few Jeeps.

Funny you said that. Since I saw that add. I have already called my cool DMV contact and gave her all the info I have about that Tovrea Farm Equipment company. There old address was 545 East 4th Street here in town. She said she can find something as she has many many times found out everything for older cars and without as much information as I have given her. So she said the chance is good. Wish me luck!!!! Iasked her to PLEASE find this out as fast as she can!!!......

We can only hope that thru the computer network that somehow, something will crack open another door that hasn't been opened yet. #21 in MN. #30 inTX. # 43 in NY. # 19 in NV. This is another whole thread on how, and where they were shipped.
