I like this ad.
“This is a vintage original ad, not a copy or reproduction. Neatly removed from magazine. Would look beautiful framed. Measures 10 and ½ by 13 inches.”
I’m not getting the connection between paper and jeeps with this ad.
“This is a vintage original ad, not a copy or reproduction. Neatly removed from magazine. Would look beautiful framed. Measures 10 and ½ by 13 inches.”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay
“Venco 1948 (?) Tailgate Loader Model 30 non-color Salesl Folder. Shows Code/Size to match with Studebaker, Willys, Ford, GMC, Dodge, etc. 8 1/2 x 11 inches. Opens 2x cover size.”
Not surprisingly, US Steel supported the war effort.
“Original Time Magazine WWII Advertisement for US Steel. The ad features Jeep and Tank in combat as well as a truck back home made of steel. About 8 1/4 by 10 3/4 inches In good condition.”
Anyone know where this ad was published?
“Great ad that describes all the ways the Jeep has contributed to winning the war. “It’s the bayonet of retribution, It’s a clear eyed American soldier, It’s the answer to a silent prayer, It’s the President’s limousine, It’s a mechanical mule, It’s a fireball of power, It’s a peace loving America.” Has minor wear on right side corners and color fade in lower right corner. . This is a vintage original ad, not a copy or reproduction. Measures 10 and ¼ by 14 inches. Buyer pays 2.00 postage. International buyers welcome if they will pay exact postage to their country. See my other auctions for similar vintage ads.”
Goodyear supporting the war effort and letting the public know it.
“ORIGINAL magazine advertisement. Always original magazine pages, never duplicates or reproductions of any kind. Approximate size: 10.25″x13.25”
This is an 8×10 original card from the Spoilers of the Forest movie.
“SPOILERS OF THE FOREST ROD CAMERON ORIGINAL LOBBY CARDSilver Screen Mementos are pleased to be able to offer this authentic original lobby card measuring 8×10 inches. This lobby card is from Great Britain and was printed during the actual year the film was released in movie theaters. The lobby card (also known as Front of House/ FOH card in the UK) was created by the film studios to publicise the movie and was intended for display outside the movie theatre in special glass display boxes. THESE ARE NOT REPRODUCTIONS! You are looking at a truly original piece of cinema art, a genuine collector’s item.

We will be releasing many more rare gems from our vast collection, which will include lobby cards, original photographs, movie stills, transparencies and slides.”
Marc spotted this neat ad from an issue of December 1945 Motor Age Magazine. The ad was already sold on eBay, but I found an issue of the entire magazine still for sale on eBay.
Shoes and jeeps . . . what more could a woman want?

This June 1943 Automotive Digest has several jeeps ads.
“This is a nice original example of AUTOMOTIVE DIGEST magazine from mid 1943. In most ways it is like any other example of AUTOMOTIVE DIGEST, but this issue contains several nice ads from various manufacturers featuring a variety of World War II jeeps like the Ford GP, Ford GPW and / or Willys MB slat-grills, the standardized Ford / Willys jeep and the GPA or amphibious jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Just a small jeep was included in this ad.

Steve spotted this great advertising piece! Looks to be 29″ wide and just about that much tall.
“Del Monte 1960s store display sign PINEAPPLE pink JEEP golf cart sun hat lady.Large thick paper sign (see yardstick in photo) with some light staining on the reverse that does not seem to show much from the front; will be shipped ROLLED; overall fine condition with little if any fading …..”
I just purchased the following package van brochures from eBay.
Below is the Urban Package Delivery Van which Jesse is rebuilding.
While not exactly a package van, the principle was the same with this modification:
<– Day 7 – March 25: Jeep Signs in Tucson | Overview | Day 9 – March 26: Space History and White Sands –>
Today we had multiple stops planned. Overall, our goal was to drive from Tucson, Arizona, to Tularosa, New Mexico.
After posting the picture from Moab of the CJ-2A mounted on a sign at Ivan’s, Joe pointed me to two similar places in Tucson, AZ. He even included addresses, which saved me time (thanks!). The first place, Willy’s works was a parts store and focuses on civilian and military jeeps. The ‘jeep’ yard held a variety of jeeps. The second place was Jack’s Government Surplus, which naturally focuses on military items. Around Jacks were all kinds of great parts’ yards. I wished I had the time to explore all the different yards!
We did not have time to explore either place. We stopped, took pictures and drove off. So, call or check them out the next time you are there.
Willys Works: 1933 W Gardner Ln,Tucson, AZ (520) 888-5082
Jack’s Government Surplus: 5181 E Drexel Rd, Tucson, AZ 85706 (520) 574-0300
Below are my pictures. You can see some ones from 2010 on Flickr. In the pictures you’ll see a M-38A1, a FC, and a M-151. I’m sure there is more.
I like the jeep drawing.
“1948 BANK OF MONTREAL AD WITH CARTOON ILLUSTRATION OF WILLYS JEEP HILLBILLY
Magazine ad, page measures 5″ x 4″ approximately, in very good condition.”
The jeep is small (and beat up).
“1945 WILLYS JEEP CHAMPION SPARK PLUG AD CANADA WWII MILITARY ARMY WAR SHIP
Magazine ad, page measures 5″ x 7″ approximately, in very good condition.”
JJ spotted Santa driving a jeep in this ad by Walk Kelly from 1942. You can find more Walt Kelly illustrations where JJ found this one at The Golden Age.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
