According to the July 1974 issue of W-O Sales News, this is a reprint of an actual editorial that appeared in a Nashville paper.
This is an unusual combination of posters on one sheet. Or, was this the norm and I didn’t know it?

Here’s a neat Northern Pacific Railroad ad from the 1952 November issue of the Saturday Evening Post featuring a Willys Hy-Rail Wagon.
I also ran across this Southern Pacific Hi-Rail Wagon from freerails.com:

This ad was pulled from the July 9, 1942, issue of Farm Implement News. I looked, but there are no current issues for sale on eBay.
These were located in Argentina.
“VINTAGE & VERY RARE ORIGINAL ARGENTINA MAGAZINE ADVERTISING LOT

UPDATE: In a comment below Claudia mentioned that Jarvis Jeep had a very catchy jingle: Beep Beep Jarvis Jeep. Apparently, that jingle was played a lot in Oregon as a variety of folks from Oregon have mentioned it on the internet. I tried to find a commercial with jingle, but no luck. Also, at one time Jarvis Jeep was the largest jeep dealer in the nation. If I’d realized Robert Jarvis was still alive I’d have tried to contact him. Unfortunately, he passed away this past April.
Apparently, he was quite the character and boxer. According to the article in this magazine, during a boxing tournament in 1946 Rocky Marciano broke his hand on Bob’s head. After which, they became life long friends. (go here to learn more and then search for ‘Jarvis’.)
Here’s an image with the jingle on it that was posted on pinterest:
Craig scanned this from the January 1959 issue of Jeep News. It features the Jarvis Jeep dealership from Portland, Oregon.
This is an unusual piece. Looks like a CJ-5 design.
“This is a lapel pin for the Jim Beam Collector clubs. This one is “Jeep City” the image is a vintage Jeep for the design.”
This is an unusual ad for National Dairy Products that tells the story of a jeep that was lashed to a submarine deck (engine and Motor inside the sub) and carried all over. Eventually, it was traded for to a crew on a destroyer for ice cream. True story? The answer is it is possible (see update on Monday).
This ad appeared in the June 26, 1944 issue of Life Magazine on page 52.
That’s a slat grille in the ad.
“You are buying a Vintage 1 page 1943 WWII magazine ad for B.F. Goodrich Tires. You are buying the MAGAZINE AD ONLY. NOT THE ITEM NOR ANY PART OF THE ITEM IN THE AD is included in this sale. This ad page(s) measure approx. 10 1/2″x14″.”

Here’s an interesting sign. Bidding is already at $360. It is over 3′ wide.
“I believe this sign is from the 60’s, but I’m not totally sure. It’s plexiglass, and I’m pretty sure it’s intended to be back-lit. It measures 13″x39″. The last couple pictures show it in front of a window, back-lit. Condition as shown. Free shipping in the US only.”
Late 1950s(?) advertising pennant.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s an interesting piece. There was a similar menu from the Benjamin Franklin Hotel in Philadelphia.
“Vintage menu from the Manhattan Room, Hotel New Yorker in NYC dated August 9, 1944. The front shows a painting by artist James Sessions which is a World War II advertisement for Willys Jeep. Overall in good condition. There is a crease mark where the menu was once folded. There are three menu items checked in pencil. See pictures for details. Measures 9″ x 12″.”
UPDATE: This brochure sold on eBay.
I don’t know just how rare these brochures are, but this is currently priced at $93 and there’s already a bid! The vehicles were only built between 1952 and 1954, so I’m not sure there was a 1955 brochure?

Print code: –
Size: 27 x21 cm (10½x8½)
Condition: good (4 out of 5, if 5 is mint new). Please notice, light miscolor on front is due to photo.

Here’s an unusual jeep item.
“HUGE jeep picture 190 x 45
Logo is 56W x 23L”
The cuff links don’t pop up too often for sale.
“1960’s – 1970s vintage CJ5 cuff links, brand new in the original box
Asking 45. pair or best offer.
JEEP ashtray, made at the Toledo plant for an open house.
Asking 15. or best offer.”
Here are a couple pages from the 1944 Willys Overland Annual Report. I thought their inclusion of the Willys engine as an independent product was very interesting. As you can see they really thought there was a big market for it.
It’s just amazing how large the plant was and how little is left.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
If not for our recent trip, I’d be going after this one. There could be some unique items in here. Note the shipping cost.
