The Jeep and How it Grew Article on eBay

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

The January 1953 issue of “Modern Man” magazine featured a story about the jeep’s history. However, given the M-38A1 prominently displayed at the top of the page, I can’t help but wonder if this was part public relations and part history piece.

“Vintage Jeep Advertising Ashtray
Chrome-plated steel.
Measures 6 1/2″ in diameter.
The bowl portion of the ashtray rotates.
The 2 1/2″ long Jeep is missing its windshield.”

1945/1946 Willys CJ-2A Booklet

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

I got a chance to scan “The Universal Jeep”, a thirty-two page booklet published by Willys Overland. It was published by Willys-Overland to educate consumers (and dealers?) about the differences between the ‘war’ jeep and the CJ-2A. One of the sections provides some interesting details about the testing done with the CJ-2s. I’ve included that section below.

Vintage Jeep Sign on eBay

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

Here’s another Jeep Parts Sign for sale. The pic is from a different, but similar sign. Check eBay for the actual sign.

“This is an original panel from a lighted Jeep® sign assembly. I only have the one side panel of the assembly. Measurements on this panel are: 24″ wide X 18″ high. It is used and shows signs of handling and storage from over the years.

Looking at the sign from the front side, there is a crack measuring approximately 4″ in length, emanating from the screw hole (shown in picture #3). There appears to be some glue residue or possibly material from the weatherstripping when the sign was in an assembled unit along the edges. There are some scuff marks, and the paint shows small places where it has chipped, but overall (aside from the crack), the sign is in pretty decent shape for it’s age. Pretty cool !!!!

This sign comes from the Willy’s Jeep® era (1960s’). It was in some leftover material from when the Jeep® dealer in Winter Park, FL. shut their doors in the late 1980s. Own a piece of Jeep® history today.”

Poster From Chrysler HQ Chicago, IL $29

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

Here’s an unusual poster (at least I haven’t seen one).

“Must see huge 36 X 48 in. poster that was on display at the factory Chrysler Jeep HDQ Detroit until Daimler Benz bought them.
Post the German auto manufacturer’s purchase, the interior at Chrysler Jeep HDQ was updated. Employees like my father-in-law were allowed to take select items that would not be used or archived.
He brought home this poster that is on very heavy card-stock and I have never seen for purchase anywhere (!!) in the public domain.
Listing a lot of items at prices to sell fast for a pre-season snowmobile purchase. Don’t miss out on these sales!
Minimal wear and the pictures here do not do it justice. First $29 cash takes it.
Selling at eBay with a perfect record since 1998 – references are available!
Thanks for shopping my listing. Rick Hill”
