Re: A fun ad for Fisk Tires
Rich, I dug up that your Fisk ad was "1926 Fisk Time To Retire ad- Leslie Thrasher". It appeared in March 1926 Country Life. Perhaps other places.

A 20-year-old young lady '42 WWII Jeep and a handful of youngsters at the show yesterday reminded me that they are still out there and have great potential.
Thanks for posting this.

I agree that there is no chain drive happening. The rear end is larger than Ford so probably from another kind of truck. I see the running board supports so I must be a stock frame with an extension.
