Davis Scenic Tours Brochure

February 15, 2023 • CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features • TAGS: . This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
0

I purchased this rare Davis Scenic Jeep Tours brochure from eBay. According to the CJ-3B page (which has a brief history of the company), Davis Scenic Tours was launched in 1946. It was eventually sold in 1959. At that time, the name was changed to San Juan Scenic Jeep Tours.

The brochure is 5.5″ x 8.5″ (half sheet of standard page) and folded in half. So, it’s pretty small.

The brochure’s cover photo of the CJ-3B isn’t very good, so below is a pic that shows how the modified-stretched CJ-3B actually looked, courtesy of the CJ-3B page:

Modified Late Model CJ-6(?) 6×6 on Walker Texas Ranger

Blaine spotted this modified jeep on Walker Texas Ranger, season 4 episode 18. My guess would be that it is a 1971 or later CJ-6, but the pic isn’t too clear. Blaine mentioned that the jeep does appear in other scenes, but the only pic he could find was on IMCDB: https://www.imcdb.org/v001243512.html

Mike spotted this estate-sale Jeepster Convertible. This looks like a great one for the price. If I weren’t buying a different jeep at the end of Feb (yep, we head out on Feb 27th), I’d consider this one as I’ve though a Jeepster Convertible would be a neat vehicle for around these parts.

I wasn’t planning on doing a racer update today, but both Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist were having issues last night loading pages. So, since, I took pics with the body yesterday, I figured I’d throw these up here. The cage is almost done, then on to floors and seats. OR, maybe shock mounts and rear sway bar.

Jeep Rodeo in the 1959 Issue of Man’s Magazine

UPDATE: This post originally appeared April 2, 2016

1954-02-mans-magazine

The February 1959 of Man’s Magazine contained photos and short report from the annual Jeep Rodeo in Yakima, Washington. Unfortunately, most of the pics aren’t a whole lot different from the March 1959 issue of Modern Man Magazine, featured in 2013.

Man’s magazine turned out to be a lot less risqué than the cover image and headlines might suggest. There was even an opinion article expressing concern over how American college football was fast becoming too professionalized.
