I believe this has a set of Huffman hubs, but the original toppers may have been replaced. It’s listed as a 1949, but the grille suggests an early year. That said, the hood and windshield aren’t original to the jeep, so the grille might not be either.

This appears to be a wagon with the back chopped and a canopy added to it. Thanks to John for spotting this oddity. Listed as a ’46, given the grill and speedometer, I’d guess this is a late ’56.

September 1962 Jeep News
This September 1962 eight-page issue of Jeep News begins with Lloyd Bridges. He headlined a half-hour show called “Kaiser Presents The Lloyd Bridges Show”; not exactly a catchy name!
I was surprised to see on page two that it wasn’t until mid 1962 that the Go-For-Digger trencher officially became a ‘Jeep’-approved special equipment item (other official ‘Jeep’ trencher being the Jeep-A-Trench). Page five highlights the second annual Jeeporama, held in Denver.
Page six re-highlights the Hatari craze, encouraging dealers to continue promoting the movie.
Note the CJ-5 in the upper right of Page seven. The top looks someone like a Koenig hardtop, but the rear side glass appears to be a custom size. I don’t recognize this top. Anyone else? Lower on Page seven is the 1962 World’s Fair Jeep Surrey. Two days ago I found my mother’s caricature drawing made for her at the ’62 fair. I’ll ask my aunt if she remembers this jeep.
Page eight shares a pic from the 10th annual Jeepers Jamboree, along with announcing the 4×4 Explorers, a ‘jeep’ club organized in Missouri.
Pinto 4 Cyl Engine Lewisberry, PA $750
Ricky is selling this Ford Pinton engine. The sale includes Novak conversion kit to attach to a T-90.

“Includes a Pinto motor with approx 15k miles from a Ford Shay kit car and is on a motor stand and just needs to be wired to run. No documentation but motor spins freely, has good compression, and is in really nice shape. Have the rare bellhousing that bolts up to the Willys T90. Comes with a new Novak conversion kit to bolt to the T90. Comes with a brand new Summit oil filter conversion kit if you need to relocate the oil filter. $750 for the package, I wanted to install this in my Willys but realize I will never get to it since my original motor runs great and I’m well, to lazy to do it”
August 1962 Jeep News
November 21, 2023 • CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features • TAGS: =[, jeep-train, Jeep-Willys-News.
This eight page August 1962 Jeep News Issue leans heavily Hatari. Pages one, four, five and six all focus on Hatari-related images and stories.
Page two notes that the Post Office order for FJ-3s had grown to 7,082 multi-stop vans, of which almost 6,000 were already operating in over 600 cities. Pages three, seven, and eight offer a potpourri of jeep-related images and captions.
Oct. 1944 Pop Mechanics Sidewalk Jeep Instructions
The October 1944 issue of Popular Mechanics included instructions for building a “Sidewalk” jeep for kids (pgs 105-108). It also included on page six this image of an MB turned into a fire jeep.
Now, for “Coasting in a Sidewalk Jeep”:
