AMC Heritage Forum Member Danimal was in his basement, when he noticed an old crumpled newspaper page.  When he unfolded it, it was a page from The Arizona Republic Newspaper from sometime in 1959, with an ad for Phoenix-area Kaiser-Jeep dealers.  The ad features the very rare Forward Control series of advanced-design Jeep trucks.

Is it REALLY a “Schraeder” valve?
