Willys Overland Mechanics Binder on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Books, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

There’s a bunch of information inside this. I’m not sure how much jeep information there is or not.

“Purchased from an estate sale of a Vietnam veteran that was a mechanic there…as the story goes. This binder is in very good condition for it’s age. No breaks or signs of visual wear. It is packed full, as seen in the last picture, of all different types of service type manuals from the mid 60’s to early 70’s as best as I can tell. There are some Willys, Chrysler, Ford, Jeep, Renault, Chevrolet, tons of other service information. So much information that would be impossible to list it all. All pages are also in very good condition. Very interesting piece of history!”

1955 Photo of Mail Jeep Dispatcher

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, DJ-3A, Features, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

According to the CJ-3B Page, the Post Office experimented with several different types of jeeps for mail delivery. However, finding photos or history of these jeeps has proven difficult. Last week I acquired this awesome photo stamped December 18, 1955, showing a DJ-3A with a hardtop, no tailgate, and no sides to make entry easier.

1955-12-18-dj3a-usps-mail-dispatcher1 1955-12-18-dj3a-usps-mail-dispatcher2

Then, on eBay, this brochure has been available for a couple months. There’s no date on the brochure itself, but the seller claims it is from 1955:

1955-jeep-disaptcher-mail-flyer

Both documents show what appear to be the same hard top and same side cut body, but the jeeps in the photos aren’t quite the same. Unlike the top jeep, the bottom jeep has the same hubcaps as the early DJ-3As, but has custom parking lights. The top photo has the side mirror on the right side, while the bottom jeep has the rear view mirror on what would normally be the driver’s side. The seats are colored slightly differently. So, are these two jeeps both experimental models?

What surprises the DJ guys the most is that we weren’t aware the low cut body was available as of late 1955. None of the marketing materials show that body as an option in 1956, as this early brochure demonstrates:

1956-dj3a-four-page-dispatcher-brochure-lores-2

So, the search for information about early dispatcher mail jeeps continues. Anyone have more photos or information about these early post office jeeps?

This Any Time, Any Where, Any Job Jeep Family brochure is undated. Given the Maverick show reference, I’d guess this is 1959 or 1960.

CJ-5 “Action” Photos From 1955 Brochure

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

These photos came from a 1955 jeep family brochure introducing the CJ-5. What’s curious is that several photos show the shackles on the front springs located at the front (see the “mail carrier” photo). As most know, the earliest CJ-5s had shackles in the rear. So, I’m wondering if the CJ-5s in these photos were bodies put on CJ-3B chassis or whether they were prototype chassis.
