These two odd items with popped up on eBay. One is a Willys Jeep service postcard and the other is a Willys Jeep service decal. Both are related to Rednor and Rainear, a Willys dealer in the Trenton, New Jersey, area. The decal has already sold, but the postcard is still for sale.

Barry has posted on Farm Jeep a really cool and rare brochure with plenty of pics from the Transport Motor Company out of California. During the late 1940s they had a full line of jeep attachments, from Hydraulic lifts, to farm equipment, to fire fighter and sprayers and more.

And, this shows a bucket:

This unusual ad appears to include an M-38A1.  It also shows a CJ-3B, but not a CJ-3A, so my guess is 1953.

I missed out on this rare Australian Jeep Truck brochure (totally spaced the auction). I can see no date or form number on any pages. My guess is that this was published in 1957 or 58.

The description from th auction reads, in part:
“WILLYS 4WD 6 CYL. ALL-PURPOSE MODEL 6-226
GOOD CONDITION OVERALL. CLEAN,GOOD COLOR AND GRAPHICS. SLIGHT WEAR FROM AGE AND STORAGE.
WILLYS MOTORS AUSTRALIA PTY. LIMITED
4 PAGE FOLDOUT

Maury let me know that scans of a 1969 Jeep family brochure (Form 69-12) was posted to earlycj5.com page. There are three particularly interesting things to me about this brochure. Somehow, I never picked up a copy, so I found one on eBay.

1) The red CJ-5 shown with a couple “racing” it is a rare 462 model, perhaps it’s only appearance in a jeep-family-brochure;
2) the brochure doesn’t mentioned the model in the brochure; and
3) this jeep must have been part of a photo shoot (probably not really racing), because this brochure shows two photos of the same shoot and the 2018/2019 Dispatcher Magazine’s article on the 462 shows a third pic of the same jeep and couple.

Before the brochure, I’ll included the Dispatcher Magazine image:

Here is the full brochure as posted by Dave from the earlycj5.com website:

I ran across these rare brochure on eBay. They aren’t in the best of shape, but  better than nothing!

The first one became effective April 1, 1950, for The Willys Station Wagon and The Willys Jeepster. It is a simple four-page brochure with a choice of six palettes.

The second brochure does not include the Jeepster. It also pairs the color choices down to three and (for marketing purposes?) gives a branding name to each color choice: Jamaica, Grand Canyon, and Caribbean. Note that this four-page brochure includes the Willys Makes Sense slogan from the Willys Makes Sense campaign the company implemented across it’s adverting in 1951:

I don’t think I’ve posted this ad. The hard topped DJ-3A didn’t appear all that often in ads.

“This is an original ad measuring approx 8″ x 11″ and is in excellent condition.”

I won this rare early (first) Gala Brochure off of eBay. It is Form H1-3-59. The marketing document appears aimed at resorts and other tourist businesses. Interestingly, it appears conceptual in scope and doesn’t show any of the actual models available, other than what Las Brisas had done with DJ-3As. Note that on the back page it encourages interested parties to write to “Gala Plan, Willys Export Corp., Toledo 1, Ohio, U.S.A.”

UPDATE: Here is what looks to be a Champion Doo-All Roll-Dump trailer for sale for $500. Thanks to Gary for spotting it. Gary contacted the seller and he is willing to transport it to Gary’s place for $50 in case anyone might be interested in this rare trailer.

====================

I can find no date for this Champion Company Doo-All ‘Jeep” Trailer brochure. Give only CJ-2As are shown, I initially thought this was published around 1948. However, the lack of Jeep wagons or trucks may indicate the brochure was published earlier than that. The from number is S-3-T.

This first 8″x11.5″ page is the front page:

The brochure opens horizontally to review a second page.

The right page opens horizontally again, to reveal a trip-fold:
