Safari-Kar International DJ-5 Brochure

Thanks to Gayland for sharing this brochure and much more. I’ve got to go through the rest and figure out a good way to share some info, but I thought this was worthy of it’s own post.

Note: Another firm started up about the same time as Safari-Kar on the east coast.

Wood Teak Jeep on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Features, Models This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The model is 16″ long. Nice piece.

“This handcrafted teak wood model is an extremely beautiful replica of a World War II Willys jeep with detailed interior and engine compartment. The front wheels move from left to right and wheels rotate.

Model has an extremely detailed interior with gauges, data plates, gas, clutch and brake pedal and has a steering wheel that rotates. The Windshield folds and the hood opens to reveal a detailed engine compartment showing the radiator with fan, top radiator hose, gas filter, battery generator,distributor, oil pump, oil fill tube, carburetor with crossover and air cleaner. It also has a detailed under carriage with exhaust and skid palate.

This hand made model measures 16″ long by 7″ wide and is 7 3/4″ tall with windshield in the raised position.

You will not find a better more detailed model than this. The picture show some dust from the model being on the shelve and I will clean it before I ship.”

The Filson Edition AEV Brute … only $130,000

• CATEGORIES: Features, Other 4x4s This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Bob spotted this high-end ‘jeep’, that is so high end the name ‘jeep’ doesn’t appear anywhere in its description. I think it’s hilarious that the web page includes the ability to add the jeep to a shopping cart of items. Clearly, I am not among Filson’s demographics, because it is a Seattle company that I’ve never heard of.

Stainless Flattie Hanover, MA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

The fender solution is unusual. They are curved rather than angular. I wish there was a clearer photo of the whole jeep.
