1955 D.L. Beck Mfg Hardtop Brochure

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

This 4-page brochure from D.L. Beck Manufacturing included a separate price list that dates the brochure around August 1, 1955. Curiously, the “Econo” hardtop was no longer featured in the brochure (see a 1954 example brochure at the bottom of this post). Apparently that “Econo” line of hardtops wasn’t good enough after all (see letter at the bottom that explains the reference).

1951 M-38? Sloansville, NY $1800

UPDATE: Still Available.

(07/26/2020) I wish the pics were clearer. I doubt this is an M-38. This lacks a fuel inlet on the side. The hardtop looks to be a modified Porter & Reed hardtop, but I can’t tell for sure.

(08/01/2020) The principal item is a CJ-3A, but there’s other items here, too.

https://binghamton.craigslist.org/for/d/castle-creek-willys-jeep-lot/7167552318.html

“CJ2 1950 Willy’s Jeep with the following:
. snow plow
. back seat
. original wind shield
. aluminum top
. 16″ bottom land plow with front weight
. complete spare parts jeep
. chassis frame with all running gear
. 10 kw generator powered by willy’s jeep engine

I am the second owner and have had it since 1976. The first owner was my neighbor so I know the complete history. In 1976 I had 90% of the body rebuilt along with an engine overhaul. I used it in the woods so got banged up a little , for years now only for plowing snow. In good mechanical shape burns no oil. Seems this would be a good lot for someone that would refurbish back to original condition or just use as is around your homestead.”
