May 1954 Kaiser Willys News Vol. 1 No. 4

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

UPDATE: I obtained a copy of this Kaiser Willys News, Volume 1, Number 4, off of ebay. Previously, all I had was a low resolution copy. This issue includes stories and photos about the Yakima Ridge Runners (last page).

Page 1 covers sales contents. Page two includes a short article about how a jeep won a road race in Las Vegas, but a search of vintage newspapers did not yield any more information. Page three is unusual in its description of the efforts to encourage wives to support their husband’s sales efforts.

Page 4 and 5 covers sales tips. Page 6 has an interesting diagram of an automatic transmission tools board, with enough detail to recreate it for a museum.

Page 7 includes a story with some details that might help someone recreate the 1954 Cavalcade of jeeps. As mentioned before, page 8 covers the Yakima Ridge Runners, among other stories.

2025 Mecum Kissimmee Wrap Up

2025 Mecum Kissimmee Wrap Up

The 2025 Mecum Auction finished up on Sunday and there were a number of Willys / Kaiser Era Jeeps Present.

Auctions can be tricky with valuations hit and miss depending on the audience and buyers present.

While not a perfect system largely due to documentation is only as good as the Auction house gets and they cannot be the experts in all makes and models. So, there is always a few lots that may have errors and omissions.

Here is a brief summary of the listing that caught my eye on their site.

2025 Mecum Kissimmee

You can find more information on these lots at their website, that is where these screenshots came from.
