This article was published in the July 15, 1945, issue of the Journal Herald out of Dayton, Ohio. The title of the article is “Jeep Has a Rendezvous With America’s Postwar Era”. It proceed the official press release kit by a few days, so neither photo came from that first press kit.
The jeep shown on the right is a Willys MA. Back in 2013, a full press photo was sold on eBay. Curiously, the headlight on the driver’s side was missing.
Did all the Kool Kids get Jeep For Juniors for Christmas in 1945? Well, more likely Kool Boys as the Kool Girls were offered a tea party set. Hopefully, the aspiring Jeep Girls asked (and received) the jeep, too.
Listed as a 1945 brochure, my guess is that this was produced in the Fall of 1944. See photos of all the pages of this brochure here.

This person is hoping to locate an M-38A1 his grandparents owned in the Gold Country area of California. It had black plates # MBG-426. No pics provided.
https://goldcountry.craigslist.org/wan/d/wilseyville-m38a1-jeep-in-west-point/7221313066.html
“My grandparents had an M38A1 Jeep on their land on Bald Mountain Road outside West Point and Bummerville. When they passed away, the Jeep was sold off at some point by a relative before the estate could be settled or the vehicle title found.
It’s a 1956 model (rounded front fenders), completely brown and white rusted paint, with an expired CA plate MBG-426.
The last I saw of this Jeep, it was on a neighbor’s tract of land also on Bald Mountain Road (east of where the road loses the centerline and fog stripes, but before Hunter Creek and where the asphalt ends).
While the Jeep was in rough, barely driveable shape at the time it was disposed of, I’ve been interested in finding it for a restoration project. It was the 4×4 my grandparents used to teach me how to drive, and has some sentimental value.
What I’d like is for anyone who knows about this Jeep, and can open a dialogue with the current possessor, to get in touch with me by email. If it makes financial sense to purchase the vehicle back given it’s condition and missing title, I’d be willing to offer a small finder’s fee.
If it’s not worth the trouble to buy back, I’d at least like to know it’s found a good home.”
Appears worth a look. Has a variety of updates.

UPDATE: Definitely a scam. This jeep ad has been spotted in several locations now. A reader named Sam took the plunge and emailed the seller. After several rounds of emails, Sam concluded there was no jeep.
Possible scam as the price seems too good. Seller mentions nothing about the jeep.

Anyone in the Seattle area have a Stratton Hydraulic Lift? A man named Ernie lives in the Seattle area (don’t know where just yet) and it was his family’s Cleveland, Ohio, machine shop that built the Stratton Lifts. We are hoping that if he sees one in person that it will jog his memory for some stories about them.
Email Barry Thomas at barry@farmjeep.com or me at d@deilers.com if you know of anyone.
You can read more about Ernie and his Machine shop here: https://www.farmjeep.com/2020/11/08/stratton-lift-builder-found-us/
The machine shop is still in business and, if there is enough interest, they may even be willing to manufacture some parts.
Blaine shared this nicely original CJ-5.

“Mechanically correct 3 owner CJ5 , F-134 engine runs well and the transmission shifts smoothly and the transfer-case shifts in and out of four wheel drive with ease . Dana 44 rear with factory Power-lok rear end with 5:38 gears in front and rear differentials. Front differential has smooth working Warn locking hubs and has new inner and outer seals including knuckle seals the king pin bearings have been replaced in the front differential as well . The body has never been repainted since new and is extremely clean for a 54 year old Cj5. The brakes are new as are the KYB gas shocks at all 4 corners .

The starter has been rebuilt recently and it has a new battery and ignition switch as well. The Radiator has been re-cored and it has a new water pump and Thermostat as well. The Heater Core was replaced and the heater works as it should . I replaced all of the worn out factory insulating pads between the body and frame with ½ inch conveyor belting and all new correct ⅜ 24 bolts washers lock washers and nuts . I replaced the speedometer assembly and speedometer cable because they were no longer working but the originals will be provided with the Jeep. The Jeep comes with 5 BFG All Terrain tires with good tread”

This unusual poster for a Revell radio jeep and trailer is an unusual find. This 1957 poster is pretty cheap compared to the 1956 version of the model, which is on eBay for $225.

“Vintage 1957 Revell Radio Jeep & Trailer Two Sided Dealer Store Display Poster – from a Revell Co. Employee Collection. Has some wear & a fold line. From a smoke free home. Be sure to see my other listings for some other items from this collection.
History of this item: I recently purchased a collection of model related items from a local auction house. They would only tell me that the original owner was a former Revell employee, unfortunately the auction company would not disclose any names or information about the consignor of the collection. The majority of this collection is related to the 1950s Revell models, but there are some items from many other companies. I have been advised by several collectors that this person was most likely a Revell Co. Representative and he would have travelled to Toy Fairs & Industry Trade Shows of the time, where he would have promoted Revell Products and also acquired advertisements from other companies. Please do not contact me about purchasing any items from this collection, they will be listed for auction as I have the time.”
