“I’m closing out my car collection and offering this ’63 Willys Jeep Tuxedo Park. It runs great and drives well (for an old Jeep). It is equipped with a Warn overdrive. I had a lot of upgrades done to this vehicle in the past two years. Some of the more important ones:

Completely new brake system, upgraded to 11 inch drums which greatly improve braking
New wiper motor
Some steering components replaced as needed
New tires (still look new)
New exhaust system
Seats reupholstered
Parking brake shoes on driveshaft relined
New pinion and axle seals
Wheels powder coated. They are the correct 16 inch size
Front floor pans replaced and coated with Rhino Liner

Hard top appears to be factory or dealer installed. Roll bar added

Odometer mileage shows 56,607 as of this date. Speedo/odometer works but I don’t know if this is the actual mileage or not.

This is a Tuxedo Park model. There were few produced and not many left that haven’t been repainted or modified. The T.P. was a trim option which included special body color (Indian Ceramic), chrome bumpers and hood hinges, special tail lamps, color-keyed steering wheel and a few other items. If you want more info on the Tuxedo Park consult the Kaiser Willys website, kaiserwillys.com

Price is $10K FIRM. Please do not call if you are not prepared to pay this price for a unique Jeep.

The J-Bird Fiberglass Hard Top

This ad took me by surprise. I’ve never heard of the J-Bird Fiberglass hard top made by Stanley Aviation. I wonder if there are any left anywhere? I’m guessing it was made in Colorado given this ad was in the Mile-Hi Jeep Club archives.

“1966 Willys Jeep CJ5. Starts, runs, drives and stops. This is a project and is full of rust. I used it to plow my driveway (way more fun than a snowblower) and it has not been on the road since I bought it last year. It is one of three Jeep CJ projects that I own, and I’m downsizing. Bring a trailer, it’s not road worthy. I can take buyer for a farm trail ride to prove it works. It includes the hydraulics and lift assembly for snow plow which works. I’m keeping the plow and lower mount. Use it as a cheap UTV or rebuild it. It will need a new body and probably some minor frame repair to restore due to rust at the front crossmember. I use it regularly as it is. Please no calls on weekdays before five pm or Thursday nights. I can’t answer it at work. Text anytime.”

October 1953 Worman Hardtop Brochure

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

UPDATE: I finally found an original of this brochure by Laurel Worman, Inc. I was surprised to see it printed as late as October of 1953. It is an 8.5 x 11 inch brochure that folds out to 17 x 11 inches.

Its primary purpose was likely to promote the new Worman hardtop for the CJ-3B. I’m not sure how many of that style of tops sold, but I sure haven’t seen many. Instead, I’ve always wondered if the design was sold or made for Sears, which promoted a similar “Deluxe top”.  Interestingly, this was more than just a top. The brochure highlights that the top was the result of Worman’s 5-year attempt to turn the CJ-3A into a station wagon type vehicle. Given Worman faded quickly after this brochure was made, it seems the company’s goal wasn’t met.

What better way to ensure our American pride than tootin down 16th street mall half in the bag throwin green beads at children and possibly doin a lil plowin while we’re at it?
