UPDATE:  The CJ3B Page has a color picture showing the jeep vehicles painted Gold for this display along with more information about the Hong Kong show.

http://cj3b.info/Siblings/SurreyGold.html

Originally published December 25, 2009:  Bruce provided me with these fascinating documents regarding the October 15-23, 1960, auto show.  There are two interesting aspects to this press release:

  1. 1. Eight Jeep vehicles were to be specially painted gold with black trim and upholstery and would be displayed in a Chinese waterfront setting;
  2. 2. The vehicles were part of the advertising program of a new fall television series called “Hong Kong“.

You can see a copy of the press release below:

Here’s another version of the event:

Article from late 1960 that includes a reference to black and gold vehicles from the November 22, 1960, issue of the Spokesman Review.
