I may not be able to read this brochure from Sweden, but I like the pictures :-). I guess no one else on eBay could read it either, which is why I got it for next to nothing.

Jeep Corn Picker Brochure Manual **SOLD**
This is a rare Corn Picker brochure that was on eBay. Given the reference to the ‘Jeep’ Tractor, this would have been published around 1951 or 1952 (no mention of the CJ-3B).

1949 Willys-Overland Dealership Poster on eBay
Here’s a unique bit of Willys-Overland literature. It’s actually a poster.
“Very neat and unusual 1949 poster and postcard from Willys-Overland Motors. The poster is trying to get dealerships to come on board with their lineup of vehicles. The postcard is for sending in to get setup as a dealer. This rare poster measures 22″WX17″T. There is one small tear measuring about 1/2″ on one of the creases of the poster. This would be an excellent addition to any collection.”

Jeep Jockeys 4×4 Races – 1977 Souvenir Program
Here’s an official Jeep Jockeys souvenir program I found on ebay a couple years ago. I finally scanned it yesterday. Many of the photos didn’t print well, but it’s still an interesting booklet, especially for those like me that recognize some of the racers names. I was disappointed by all the ads, but I included them in the scans.
A little background information: the Yakima Jeep Jockeys of Yakima, Washington, formed a club in 1963. In 1965 they incorporated and joined the Pacific Northwest Four Wheel Drive Association. Beginning in 1971, the club held a series of Jeep Jockeys 4×4 Championship Races. They held them at leaf through 1977, but I do not know how much longer they were held after that year.
Exploration Northwest featured the 1977 race in one of their 1977 episodes. I was given permission to share two video clips from their episodes here.
You might remember Ron Day’s photos from a 1977 Yakima Race. It seems to be the same race that was featured in the souvenir program below.

WWII Jeep Matchbook Cover on eBay
I’ve seen a variety of jeep matchbook covers, but I believe this is the first with a military theme. It doesn’t seem to be advertising anything either.
