Doug picked up this CJ-6 recently. As you can see, this is an example of a jeep that was nicer than the pics taken by the seller. It’s a really good looking jeep, especially with those hurricane rims 🙂
These are the new pics. Doug was able to get some good cloudy-day photos that helped show just how nice the paint is.
New Photos:
Old photos: Between the shadows and the lack of closeups, it’s hard to tell just how nice the paint really is.
Starting in 1942 Dell Publishing issued an annual christmas comic book titled “Santa Claus Funnies”. The very first issue featured Santa driving a jeep. The series ran until 1962. Here’s a link to check on the most recent Santa Claus Funnies available on eBay.
You can learn more about Santa Claus Funnies from the Golden Age of Comics website. 
In a comment from the post about the FC-150 review by Tom McCahill, Mike remembered seeing McCahill’s review about the Jeep Wagoneer. It didn’t take me long to find a cheap copy of the May 1966 issue (pg 87) that featured the surprisingly enthusiastic review of the Jeep.
Looking for something else, I ran across this christmas card.
Marc forwarded this ebay photo. I never look at one of these photos and think, ‘Yeah, that’s a good idea’.
This Farm Jeep brochure is available on eBay.
“1946/1947 Willys-Overland sales brochure ‘For the Farm’. Size is 8.5 x 11 opening to 34 x 11. Moderate wear/aging.”

Updated, nice looking Jeepster.
“Classic 1949 Willys Jeepster. Fun to drive. 350 chevy small block with auto transmission. New seat covers, top almost new. May consider trade for small low mileage pickup, small center console boat with 4 stroke motor.”
Looks good from the side.
