UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
I think I’ve only seen one other catalog. So these are pretty hard to find.
“19 Pages. Good condition.”

All my family members are always on the watch for a jeep. While driving down the freeway through Montana, my 15 year old niece snapped and emailed this tall wheeled CJ-5(?) rolling down the road with no hood.
Gerald forwarded this no-jeep sign from Deep Creek, MD. Fortunately, he didn’t have his boat with him.
Marc spotted this interesting site full of WWII photos from June 6, 1944.
John spotted this CJ-3B in a 1956 Doris Day Movie titled: Julie
Hugh spotted this on eWillys and went to look at it. He was pleasantly surprised to discover it was better than it looked in the pictures, so he bought it.
He writes, “This is the 47 cj2a i picked up in niangua missouri. The thing runs like a sewing machine. The previous owner and his brother meticulously maintained the drive train. The shock absorbers are shot, the springs are flat and it needs new tires. I put more than fifty miles on it today and it seems very dependable. Its very original but not a show piece, but heck, i just like to drive em, preferably off road!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Here’s a nice shot.
“This is a highly desirable and very scarce original snapshot photo of a handsome fellow in a jeep, reverse says “note athlete’s foot” — as shown, terrific period details, roughly five by four inches, mild wear. This originally came from a northern VT estate, and has been in my own collection for many years.”
Dave presented this great brass buckle to me at this years FC Roundup. I safely packed it away so that I wouldn’t lose it on the way home, but I packed it so good that I couldn’t find it. I finally found it looking for something else …. whew!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250.
Here’s an unusual sign.
“No scratches, and working, Im selling this man-cave item for $250 OBO. It’s definatifely worth it, I have checked it out on EBAY and sells for more than that. Contact me for any info by email or by text or call, im better with my cell phone tho.”
Neat photo.
“You buying one black & white high quality 12” by 18” picture. This is copy of a professionally taken picture from that era. The picture will be shipped in a 13’ piece of PVC tubing to prevent damage.”
This poor jeep saw some action. It can be found on TWDCs’ History Page. TWA assisted the Kingdom of Saudi with management assistant for the newly formed Saudi Arabian Airlines.
“Collectible 1950’s Jeep/Willys 4 Paper Banner Double Sided Signs 17″ x 12″. I found these signs picking a long closed dealership. Great collectibles for the Jeep/Willys fans. The signs are in very good condition. There is some slight soiling, sun-fading, and very slight tears. The one sign (refer to photos) has the hanging slot torn away. No damage to inhibit displaying in a man cave, business, or garage. They will be shipped flat.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were on eBay.
These look interesting.

Thanks to Steve Elkins for filing this great report from the 2013 Willys America Open House last Saturday! You can see more pics at the oldwillysforum also.
The annual Willys America Open House was Saturday, July 13, 2013. Over one hundred Willys vehicles converged on the old lumber town of Cazadero nestled among the towering redwoods of the Russian River region of Sonoma County, California.
Once again, Paul Barry opened up his amazing restoration facility to Willys owners everywhere for his annual event. Willys enthusiast from all over the region, and some as far as the Eastern United States, came to the event. Well known names in the Willys World such as Harry & Jo Sheets from Indiana, and Bill Norris, who publishes the best calendars in the world, were there to enjoy a wide variety of Willys on display and to meet other enthusiasts.
Here are some folks caravanning north to the event. Just to their south the Golden Gate Bridge looms amongst a marine push.
Willys America houses the largest variety of unique Willys vehicles anywhere. There were personnel carriers, Mavericks, Sedan Deliveries, Jeepsters, Forward Control trucks, Jeeps built in Japan and the Philippines, military vehicles, ambulances, fire trucks, RR vehicles, just to name a few. There was even a 1943 Allis-Chalmers Snow Tractor powered by Willys (L4-134.)
Thermos is saluting the men who make jeeps, but what about the women?

This is a cool piece. I wonder if he has any family somewhere. The name on the Jeep is Texas Kid.

Marc spotted this on eBay. The auction ended, but I’m sure the seller will be happy to sell it. Note the muffler winding under the front frame rails.
