“Up for auction is an incredibly rare very early Jeep collectible: a 1956 Jeepers Jamboree booklet in excellent condition! The booklet talks about the drive through from Lake Tahoe via Georgetown. I’ve looked online and these are extremely rare and I only found a couple other examples and none close to this old. This is truly a one-of-a-kind Jeep item.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $80.
Jeremiah let me know that he has the Bob Clemens’ Willy Jeep book for sale. Something I hadn’t noticed before is that the book has a Willys-Overland copyright (see second pic).
“PERFECT JEEP GIFT! This book is ultra rare and is great for military and jeep lovers, or even better a military jeep lover. Published in 1943 by Willys-Overland Motors. It was made by Overland as a promotional thank you to children for their efforts with war bonds. Very cool b&w and full color illustrations. Collectors gem.
