UPDATE IV: Barney sent a photo of his rare Whitco Bikini Top attached to a 1971 CJ-5 (with his dog Manny smiling in the back). While not exactly like the bikini tops we saw in the later 1970s, it likely represents the first production example of what became the bikini top (if defined by attached to the windshield in the front and held in place by straps in the back)
UPDATE III: It appears the definition of the Bimini top is that it is open in the front, which isn’t consistent with the tops we’re discussing below …. I’m trying to determine when/where the top cover originated that, in the front, connects to the windshield, then goes over a mid-bar (usually a roll bar), and, in the back, is held in place by two straps from either side of the top.
Here’s a DIY Bikini top made from a 4-by-4-foot canvas tarp via Four Wheeler Mag: https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/diy-bikini-top-willys-jeep/
UPDATE II: This Whitco brochure shows that the company was advertising a “Bikini” top during the 1960s, though it isn’t the design of top (like the one below) I was hoping to document. This top is closer to a Surrey top design.
UPDATE: Vernon notes that these were also called Bimini tops, a term I think came from the boating world?
Maury asked me if I knew when bikini tops were first produced. I don’t have any information on this. My guess is they arrived for jeeps in the mid-1970s as none of my earlier parts catalogs show the bikini top as an option. Anyone remember when they first started seeing them?

This appears setup for a snow(?) blade. It is unclear if it was ever a mower.

Looks like there is parts value here. That front bumper must have hit something very hard!
“Selling a 1956 Jeep Willys CJ5. I got this years ago in the hopes of restoring it, but never found the time. It was running when i got it. So, all of the major parts and pieces are there. It is not road worthy without some restoration. Selling it as is. You will need a trailer to pick it up.”
This has a funky half-cab, but it runs.

“Stock jeep with power angle plow. 4 cylinder, 3 speed. Brand new wrangler radial tires. 4 wheel drive. Converted to 12 volt electrical system. Brand new brakes, master cylinder, wheel cylinders and pads. Runs drives and stops. It’s an old jeep so it’s got some rust but nothing detrimental. All body mounts are good. Mileage is unknown but it still runs”
UPDATE: **SOLD** WAS $1000.
This old racer has a fiberglass front clip that looks in good shape. The cage looks worth a few hundred as well. There seems to be some “sweet temptation” here.
“195ish jeep cj2 or cj3 tub. Has No engine or transmission. Frame appears to have been cut on the front? Fiberglass hood and front fenders one piece. No title, appears to have been raced or play in the dunes. What you see in the pictures is all I know”
