40's-50's Carnival Ride Jeep

Post by Vanguard6 » Sun Jan 04, 2015 7:37 pm

Need assistance for a new acquisition:
just picked up a carnival ride jeep, very heavy steel construction looks like a mini-gpw, I have seen a couple on e-bay but really would like to know more about when/where it was manufactured. Allan Herschel made some but they look a little different than mine. it has a back deck behind seat instead of the rear facing seat for a second passenger. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
