I’m not entirely sure how that equipment is attached to the rear of the jeep.

I can’t imagine there are many of these ads left.
“ORIGINAL RARE 1957 JEEP WILLYS CANADA WHEEL DRIVE AD ( JEEP SNOW BLOWER ) CANADIAN”
I found this picture on Flickr. That’s a long line of jeeps.
Sebastian spotted the President of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos, driving this CJ-3A today in El Tiempo.
The July 1956 Popular Science article doesn’t indicate which country ordered this special search light, but this mobile, self-contained spotlight put out some serious light.
Sebastian’s dad, always on alert for jeep stuff in Colombia, emailed this picture while the site was down. You might remember this coffee jeep from Colombia.
Sebastian added some notes for us:
“– The coffee sign, the wrong spelling in English and really no meaning in Spanish (it should be café)
– The top white sign saying “minutos” which means cell phone minutes. You basically pay a fee and you can use their cell phone for a call. Look the lady using the phone for a call.
– Middle white sign which offers “Mazamorra”, a local dish that not everyone dares to try. Not that easy to find these days, and not really recommended if you have an afternoon full of things to do, most likely you will need a long nap after eating that.
– Bottom sing “arroz con leche” which means rice pudding, sweetened to perfection.
It can not be more Colombian than this!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay.
This jeep has a variety of CJ-5 aspects, but was supposedly sent to Sweden for use by their military.
“1969 Kaiser-Willis Military Jeep

I liked that the jeep fire truck and the cargo personnel carrier showed up in the ad. They are pretty rare to see in ads.

Glenn spotted a brochure for this Jeep-like vehicle. There some great PTO shots, too. You can learn more about them at Wikipedia.
UPDATE: Was on eBay.
(12/07/2012) This is a cool brochure. More pics on eBay.
“original color folder , 5.5 x 8 folded , 16.5 x 8 unfolded . This is the first brochure printed on the Campagnola . It also shows a map from Algeria to Cape Town of a record run in Africa by the Campagnola.”
This is a vintage model that is motorized and needs assembly.
“Up for sale is a Pop up Jeep “Deko” Motorized Model Kit – 1/24 scale made by NITTO in JAPAN. This is a very rare vintage model and is very collectible. Box is open, but is in the original box and is not assembled and looks to include all the parts as well as the Instruction Sheet and the decals.”
Glenn spotted this unusual brochure.
“original Part Color Folder , 8.5 x 11 Folded , 17 x 11 Unfolded , Has Horizontal Folds , Jeep Trailer , Israel.”

The Canadian Military Education Centre museum at Chilliwack, Canada, has three nicely restored jeeps. Here is a nice set of pictures that shows a number of the vehicles they have: http://www.flickr.com/photos/unclegal/sets/72157627666293766/with/6142314877/

Craig spotted this unusual sculpture by Guillermo Forchino. Born in Argentina, he now lives in France. You can read more about Guillermo at his website.

Juan wrote to me the other day. He wanted to share his life long passion with jeeps that started when he was a young boy in Coatepec, Veracruz, Mexico. Juan doesn’t speak English and my Spanish isn’t much better, so I have done my best to translate his email (and any mistakes are my fault). Thanks for sharing Juan!
DAVE good afternoon.
I am a 60 year old retired Veterinarian. My Father was born and lived in Coatepec, Veracruz, Mexico, land of the best coffee. My father always used Willys jeeps or trucks to access our ranch because they were the only vehicles that could make it. When I was eighteen months of age he gave me Kings Pedal Jeep as a gift and I treasured it.
In 1969 I left my country and moved to the port of Veracruz to study veterinary and animal science. I went to work at the state of Oaxaca. Each week or two back I returned home to help my father in his old age. When I retired, I return to Coatepec to launch a small veterinary pharmacy. My parents had both passed away by that time. After returning home, I found that many friends asked about my father and whether he had any jeep parts for sale. After enough requests, I got the idea to buy some jeeps and rebuild them or part them out.
In 2007 one of my children taught me to use the computer and showed me lots of different willys sites. After seeing the Willys clubs in Colombia, I got the idea to form a Coatepec Willys clubs with some friends. We changed the name to Jeeperos Coatepec, because we have many friends that had 4×4 vehicles other than Willys. We hung out every month, attended cultural events, sports exhibitions, and were invited to participate in events on the beaches of Veracruz chachalacas, where every year all the republic clubs totaling more than 200 jeeps gathered. We have participated in movies of Che Guevara Arnold, in a French movie, in some commercials, and more.
Unfortunately, one of my children died eight months ago. This depressed me to the point where I stopped wheeling and being active in the group. However, I have slowly been overcoming this tragedy with help from my friends. And, thanks to websites like yours, I feel more motivated to keep up with my jeeps. We hope some day you can make it down here [editor’s note . . . so do I!]. If you do, you can enjoy a jeep ride through the plantation, canals and farms of these places .
In the first three photos below show the small collection I have. A 1947 CJ-2A, 1953 CJ-3B, a CJ-5, a CJ-7 and more.
Many Thanks.
Juan Lopez Badillo
=============================
From these first three pictures you can see that Juan has a nice variety of complete and incomplete jeeps.
This has the potential for a Colorado Tour Rig!
There are some other photos that Juan included:
Sebastian forwarded this to me today. This is great!
“While driving in Antioquia Colombia my dad found this electric Jeep. It is smaller than normal size and the owner (see picture) is asking for about $3700 US dollars. It is a pure home-made Willys. Only in Colombia!!”
Last weekend was the 2012 Barfrosttreffet. It looks like a variety of jeepers participated. It sure looks like a beautiful country to explore. I have posted a few pics from their event below. You can see more here: http://www.facebook.com/events/146187395522035/
The price is good, but this is located in the country of Costa Rica.

UPDATE: Roberto believes this was taken in the Netherlands.
How about this photograph from Flickr. The information with this photo suggests it was taken in 1953.
