How about this great ad from the August 9, 1943, issue of Newsweek. I’ll be posting a different one from Newsweek tomorrow. This is pieced together from two different pages.
Advertising & Brochures Research Archives
Salesbuilder Magazine from Willys Overland
I spotted and purchased it on eBay today. There were three other issues, but I got outbid with a few seconds to go on the rest.
1943 Fletcher Jeep Tanks AD **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
These fuel tanks could be pulled by jeeps and other vehicles.
“This is an original vintage 1943 magazine advertisement by Fletcher Aviation Corp. (Pasadena, California) titled
“New Fletcher Jeep Tanks … give gasoline service on the double!”
with 2 WWII era photos.
The ad measures approximately 7 3/4″ x 11 1/4″, is in excellent condition, and can easily be matted & framed.”

1947 CJ-2A Argentina Ad on eBay
I’m not entirely sure how that equipment is attached to the rear of the jeep.

1957 Snow Blower Ad from Canada **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I can’t imagine there are many of these ads left.
“ORIGINAL RARE 1957 JEEP WILLYS CANADA WHEEL DRIVE AD ( JEEP SNOW BLOWER ) CANADIAN”
1966 Koenig Hardtop and Accessories Brochure on eBay
This brochure includes pictures of the bed extension and the optional vertical doors (I think Andy’s Airport Jeep had these).
Schenecker Demonstration Jeep w/ Hydraulic Lift
This Schenecker Demonstration Jeep shows off the hydraulic lift bucket. Really great photo that was just on eBay.
Old Warn Overdrive Ad
I was surprised to see this ad for Warn Overdrives in the September, 1965, issue of Popular Mechanics.

FC Trav-L-Aire Brochure on eBay
This FC Trav-L-Aire Brochure includes free shipping.
“Original 1960’s WILLYS JEEP CAMPER BROCHURE “THE TRAV-L-AIRE” The Cabin That Goes Anywhere”
Mini Terror Tire Ad
I always thought these were mini-terra tires, but they were advertised as “mini-terror” off road tires. I found this ad in the February, 1974, issue of Four Wheeler.
Bob’s Photo of the Valstrey Willys Dealership
Bob bought this photo at an antique store a couple days ago. Visible in it are trailers, a wagon, and a couple flatties. The sign appears to read “145 e. werrick rd, tel. Valley stream 3638”
After some googling, Bob and I determined there was a Valstrey Service Corporation at 145 E. Merrick in Freeport, NY, which is very close the town of Valley Stream, NY. Further research yielded a newspaper ad out of the Brooklyn Eagle (Jan. 22nd 1950, pg 15) showing the Valstrey Service Corp from the address above in a Willys Advertisement (see below).
WO Export Corp Military Vehicle Program Sales Brochure on eBay
Unfortunately, this is missing five pages, but the book totals 56 pages. I’ve never encountered one of these.

Undated but circa 1960s.
Fully illustrated sales brochure.
56 pages, sadly pages 9-14 have been removed. Otherwise in very good condition.”
