UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $1950.

(02/15/2010) I guess this needs a little work done?  It has an overdrive.

“The Jeep has a 1957 Chevy 283 V8 engine. It runs and sounds great. 3 speed manual trans with high/low transfer and overdrive. Has chrome valve covers and air cleaner cover. The tires are good and there are two spares. Its been under cover and for the most part is in pretty good condition. It has an electric fuel pump. I start it frequently. Battery is good. I’ve had it for 40 years, and have had many good times in it. The transmission needed rebuilding a few years ago, so I pulled the engine and replaced the damaged parts in the transmission. I got most of the project completed, but am no longer able to work on it. It will need some brake work and new mufflers, but for someone that is mechanically inclined, this is a very good chance to own a one of a kind Jeep. It doesn’t have a top. It has a tow bar and cover.”

Pics from past Chicago Auto Shows

The Chicago Auto Show website has an archive of images from past auto shows.  Some of the pics include a variety of different jeeps.  Some of these you have probably seen before and, hopefully, others you haven’t.

Last year Bruce shared documents which indicated Willys Motors planned to have a Hong Kong black and gold theme for 1960.  In the pics below, you can see the Hong Kong theme, but hard to tell what the colors are.

1951:

1954:

1959: (you can see a bigger version of the same photo at thefcconnection).  This must have been released as a PR photo.

1960: I thought the description on the bottom of this photo claiming the CJ-6 link was interesting.  I’m assuming the mistake was made by the person who assembled the auto show archives?

I found the advertisement below on Flickr. According to the information on Flickr,
this ad was for the 1960 Detroit Auto Show, but showed 1961 vehicles.

1961:  The Hong Kong Exhibit (though I haven’t quite reconciled the 1961 show date from  Bruce’s document).

1962:  Here’s something from International Harvester.

1964:

This is an interesting deal.

1953 Truck Kansas City, Mo $3500

Steve spotted this ad.  No pics provided, but the builder assembled the front from Bronco II and the rear from a F-250.

“This is a particular vehicle for a particular buyer. Former daily driver but has been sitting for the past two years.
This was hand built, and would suite a collector or restorer nicely. Registered as ’53 Willys but is in fact only the body sitting on two frame halves welded together. (front-Bronco II, rear F-250)
Ford big block engine: 460 (dual-plane intake manifold, 780 Edelbrock carb, roller rockers, ported heads, Hooker headers) approx 20k miles since rebuild; American Racing 17″ aluminum wheels; BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KD tires (brand new but slightly weathered). Interior is very minimal, but does have a few original gauges and heater.
This has alot of sentimental value so finding a buyer who will appreciate it would be optimal.
Pics are available upon request for serious inquiries. ”

1946 CJ-2A Emily, Mn $1500

UPDATE:  Still Available

(05/11/2011) This appears pretty stock.

“This vehicle is located in crow wing county about 6 miles southeast of Emily. Has been at the cabin for 20 years and obviously needs some work done, engine/clutch/tranny all work great though. I have the title and vin numbers, tabs are way out of date and there is no insurance so you will need a trailer. $1500 or make an offer, I would also consider a trade for a new or like new Minn Kota Bow mount 12v auto pilot trolling motor 55lb.”
