Belleview Winch Ad

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

In 1959 Belleview Manufacturing introduced an electric winch. The company sold them (6000lb and 8000lb versions) through Warn Industries, since they manufactured other products for Warn also. However, based on the ad below, they may have marketed them to other resellers, since the ad doesn’t mention Warn at all.

The ad below was in the March 9, 1967, issue of the Sundance Times, a Wyoming newspaper. By the time the ad appeared, Warn had already purchased all the Belleview Manufacturing Stock, as the small caption below Thurston Warn’s photo indicates (which is on eBay). The next year, Thurston Warn became President of Warn.

1963 Photo of CJ-5 in El Dorado National Forest

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

Based on the chrome front bumper, this CJ-5 might have an early Tuxedo package. It also seems to have an extended bed on the rear. There was a note on the back of the photo that suggested this might be part of the Jeep Jamboree.

“1963 Press Photo Jeep El Dorado national Forest – This is an original press photo. Jeep El Dorado national Forest Photo measures 10 x 8inches. Photo is dated 08-04-1963.”

1951 Jeepster Rogue River, OR $9500

• CATEGORIES: Jeepster • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Looks great with that “Rocket” engine. A couple things don’t work.

“This is a one of a kind Jeepster. The Jeepsters were made until 1950 but those sold in 1951 were registered as 51’s, such is the case here. It currently has a mid 50’s Oldsmobile Rocket 324 cubic inch V8 with the (slim jim)hydromatic trans. The car went thru a amateur renovation 5 years ago but is holding up quite well. The paint still shines and the custom upholstery us unused. The car is rarely driven hence the reason for selling. The top is 5 years old but the car is rarely used and always kept under cover. The side curtains(windows) have never been used and are still new. The engine runs like a top and is quite powerful especially in a car as light as the Jeepster. The 4 speed auto trans shifts clean and hard. The after market turn signals work. This car attracts a great deal of attention when driven. Reasonable offer will be considered. The car is absent a heater and the wind shield wipers don’t work and it has no radio.”
