1960ish Las Brisas Jeep Rental Card W/Map
I found this neat little card from the Las Brisas resort on eBay. Folded up, it’s about the size of a post card. The illustrated side advertises pink jeep rentals in English and Spanish. The other side shows a map of the area (here’s a google map link). It’s meant to sit on a table or desk.
Las Brisas Brochure W/ DJ-5s
UPDATE II: There are more photos of the DJ-3A “mobile bar” in the February 1962 Jeep News.
This 1966 brochure for the Las Brisas resort included some pics of Surreys.
We’ve seen this DJ-3A “mobile bar” featured in a photo from another angle.
1963 Tonka Ad with Surrey on eBay
The January 1963 issue of Playthings Magazine included this neat Tonka ad. I tried to find a full issue of Playthings Magazine on eBay, but there weren’t any 1960s that I could find. I suspect this is probably a rare ad.

3 DJ-3As Long Beach, CA **SOLD**
Year? DJ-3A Valley View, TX Estate Sale
Charles spotted this Surrey-like jeep. It looks to me like an early, basic DJ-3A to which someone added some surrey trimmings. No price or description provided, other than the seller describes it as a “1953”, which would be three years before the first DJ was introduced. Still, it looks like a fun rig to drive around town. It’s for sale the weekend of May 12-14.
1964 DJ-3A Fairfield, CA $4500
UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/11/2017) This DJ-3A is actually a 1962 that sold in 1964. The trim ID indicates that it may have been a Surrey. Though it has an L-134, it’s a former industrial engine. The jeep has a few other modifications, including four wheel drive. Still, looks like a good price.

Photo of Sylvia Porter in a Gala (?)
Sylvia Porter was a financial guru of some renown in the 1960s. We think this might be an actual Gala from Las Brisas.
