March 1947? Universal Jeep in Industry Brochure
I’ve had this brochure for years, but never got around to scanning it until now. It’s form 473A250, which might mean it was published in March of 1947. This brochure folds out horizontally with four panes.
These next two images show how the entire brochure folds out, front and back.
1971 Movie “Venga A Fare Ilsoldato Da Noi” Poster **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This poster includes a jeep driven by soldiers looking as if they’d just driven from the Italian movie version of M*A*S*H. Given M*A*S*H was released the year before in 1970, maybe that wasn’t a coincidence?
As noted at IMDB, “A girl is drafted due to a misunderstanding and this gives her the occasion to check on her boy-friend, whom she believes to be a womanizer.”
“Original poster measures approximately 140 x 200 cm (78″x55″), in conditions as in the photo.”

1964 CJ-3B Dually Virginia Beach, VA $29,500
UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/17/2020) Nice looking restoration. It has a few cool extras (Hickey winch and ventilating windshield). My only quibble is that I wish the rear dually fenders were rounded rather than angled.

1946? CJ-2A? Bringhurst, IN $4250
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4250.
(03/12/2020) This shows that the DJ-3A windshield for the Koenig hardtop also will fit the Meyer CJ-5 hardtop (in this case it’s a CJ-5 half-top). To me this adds weight to my theory that the Koenig hardtop used on DJ-3As should fit CJ-5s. This jeep also has a DJ-3A body (cut side type) and grille, at the very least.

1950 CJ-3A Mableton, GA **Status Unknown**
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $5800.
Price dropped to $5800. Year changed to 1950. It lacks drain holes and a tailgate, so either this is an aftermarket body (fiberglass?) or its had work.

Oscar Mayer Wienermobiles
Mark shared this brief look at the Oscar Mayer Wienermobiles over the years (there were several others, including this 2011 wiener food truck). Of course, during the late 1950s, the company built a dog mobile atop an FC chassis. Perhaps, most surprising, is the latest version, one I hadn’t seen (I won’t ruin the surprise).
