I just picked this pin up off of ebay thanks to Maury!
There are two more, though not quite as nice, on eBay right now (you can make an offer on them), from a different seller.

This gives a fairly early look at the parts available for jeeps; it’s hard to say how many images it has.

Tom spotted this unusual bed. It appears it can be ordered.

“Custom made Jeep bed Twin size All wood Just a few pieces we can do”
This is my first time seeing a Perfect Jeep and Parts Company catalog. As best as I can uncover, the company was owned by Bernard S. Forman, who, as owner, copyrighted the name and catalog in 1956. It may have been this Bernie who used to live in Chicago and died last year.
This brochure and the company’s location seems to have been pretty close to Berg’s, so they must have been direct competitors. This brochure has 23 pages and is not in good shape.

Looks in good shape.

Tom shared this custom jeep.

“Selling my 52 Willys Jeep Hot Rod. This quick little machine comes with a solid 4.3 Chevy, Mustang front end suspension, and many customizations (you will see by the photos). If you’re looking for something extremely unique look no further. This should sell quick over the 4th weekend so no low ball offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** $2700. Paul pointed out that his probably has a ventilating windshield.
Runs and drives. If the rust isn’t bad, it could be a reasonable price.
“U.S. Forest service Low time unit. Has been stored for long time, runs like a champ.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was 5999.
(04/27/2019) Has some hat channel rust.
“51 CJ3a. Fully running. Lots of new mechanical stuff. New starter, fuel pump, water pump, carb, fuel tank, lines, radial tires, clutch, was told the motor was rebuilt 800 miles ago. Ive done nothing to the tranny. Body is good from 20 feet away, rust through is very minimal. the only rust through that I am aware of is in the pic below. Top is workable, windows are very stiff. I can recommend a shipper that will pick up in my area. Includes towbar, 17/8 ball needed.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(07/18/2019) Interesting steering wheel.
