1965 Jeep Commercial Vehicles Sales Book
This was on eBay. I bid on it for a while, but it got too rich for me. Finally sold for $199.35. Congrats to whomever won it!
“This is a original Willys Jeep Dealer Sales Catalog, the front page is dated 1965. This is roughly 103 sheets of original brochures from Jeep and the Accessory Manufacturers in a three ring binder, making it about 206 pages of information. The front cover says Government Sales. It has the Jeep Universal and Cab Forward models along with all specifications and every approved accessory I could think of and a lot I would never have thought existed. Some pretty interesting accessories from the expected winches, lockout hubs, PTO’s, Cabs, etc. to the unexpected like complete fire fighting units, agriculture equipment, street sweepers, camper shell, aftermarket bodies, wreckers and on and on. The photos just show some of the pages, I used up all of the photos just showing some of the content. It is used and out of dry storage in dry New Mexico so there is no mustiness to it. The pages look like they have been used very little, however it is 50 years old so there is some expected shop wear from age, nothing real major that I could see. I think the photos pretty much show the treasure trove of information in this book better than I can explain it.”
