Oregon Coast Military
Museum recently took delivery
of a very early production
World War II (WWII) jeep, the
iconic vehicle that was created
at the advent of WWII and
credited by some historians for
substantially contributing to
winning the war.
The vehicle, on loan from a
supporter in Albany, Ore., was
manufactured in early 1942
and delivered to the govern-
ment on March 16, 1942, and
served its entire military life at
Camp Young in the California
desert, a desert training camp.
Just a few days later, General
George S. Patton arrived as the
first commanding officer of
that camp.
This particular jeep was one
of only four radio jeeps sta-
tioned there at that time.
Some of the unique features
that make this jeep one of the
rarest of the variants of the
646,964 jeeps produced during
WWII include the fact that it is
a 12-volt vehicle from the fac-
started out after having been
modified by its civilian owners
over the years,” said museum
executive
director
Cal
Applebee. “The owner, who is
loaning it to the museum, also
contributed a lot of research on
the jeep. With the help of a
close friend, the two did a fan-
tastic job restoring the vehicle
back to its original condition.
“We see a lot of great WWII
jeeps within the military vehi-
cle hobby, but to have some-
thing of this caliber and
uniqueness is a real treat. We
were really glad we were able
to take delivery in time to

Fanny Rugburn, is playing her first show,
“One Night With My Fanny,” on Saturday,
Aug. 27, at Old Town Barbershop. No chil-
dren will be allowed at this uncensored
event.
Doors open at 8:30 p.m., and the show
starts at 9 p.m. The cover charge will be $7

Mattieu Korso will open the show with a
10-minute preview of “The Santaland
Diaries,” coming to Class Act Theatre in

“Be ready to laugh your ‘fanny’ off,”
Wood said. “There’s a lot of entertainment
in this town, but it’s not adult entertainment.
This is an unedited night for people 18 and
up.”
Wood debutted Fanny at several events
throughout the past year, including at Three
Rivers Casino Resort and on Fanny’s

advice questions.
