“VINTAGE JEEP WILLY DEALERSHIP ADVERTISING SIGN Kaiser AMC PARTS SERVICE. Condition is Used.

Check out this great dealership sign salvaged from an old garage. The sign is 18” x 24” and would have been part of a lighted sign in a metal frame of some sort. This auction includes (1) plastic printed Jeep sign as shown.

See the pics. The sign is cracked and has some pieces missing from the top left corner. While damaged, it does not detract from the coolness of this piece. The color is vibrant, and the graphics are bold.

Build a frame/box for it, and put some LED strip lights behind it and hang it on your wall for a cool effect.”

Berg Truck Jeep Parts Magazine(?) Ad on eBay

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

Given the page number of “78”, I’d guess this ad was in a magazine of some kind. I’m not sure if it was a pre-Berg-catalog ad or just part of its advertising strategy.
