1949 Station Wagon Brochure

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

UPDATE: Coincidentally, I received a better version of this brochure in the mail today as part of a packet of brochures, so the pics are much improved. This brochure is Form 46 SWMI-3CM-11-49.

This is how the back side of the brochure when unopened.

The top 1/4th of this foldout is a different page than the lower 3/4. The lower 3/4 folds down. Also, note the ‘Jeep’ badge that appears subtly in the lower right corner.

This description on this photo isn’t too helpful: [T-5 William R.] Shapiro sits [in what’s left of a Jeep].  You can see other wrecked jeeps in the background. The photographer was J. Malan Heslop.

1955 Article About California Jeep Trip That Turned Bad

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

This story about a jeep trip that turned deadly was repeated across the country. I tried to find “Amazon Canyon”, which is supposed to be east of TwentyNine Palms, but couldn’t locate it.

This version of the article appeared in the June 27, 1955, issue of the Lincoln Journal Star (Lincoln, Nebraska).
