March 1959 Willys-Overland Export Gala Brochures

UPDATE: I bought the Spanish version of this brochure off of eBay, so I’m adding it to this post. The Spanish version is Forma H1-3-59.

I won this rare early (first) Gala Brochure off of eBay. It is Form H1-3-59. The marketing document appears aimed at resorts and other tourist businesses. Interestingly, it appears conceptual in scope and doesn’t show any of the actual models available, other than what Las Brisas had done with DJ-3As. Note that on the back page it encourages interested parties to write to “Gala Plan, Willys Export Corp., Toledo 1, Ohio, U.S.A.”

This is pretty cool, 2WD with OD, 1947 has the early 0-70 silver gauges they look legit restorable, has some funky extra boat lights on the back those need to go. Column shift, what you can see of the window crank knobs look correct color, it looks really complete and super nice in the pics.

1946 Willys CJ-2A (My eWillys Rig)

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Pete sent in his 1946 CJ-2A, it’s really nice looking. Has had it 30 years. Mike’s not going to like there is no big back story here, but I think the rig speaks for itself it looks well done and a fun ride. I’m going to guess not an L134.

Thanks, Pete for sending this in!

If you would like to share your rig with us please follow this link and consider sharing a small story and a few memories or pictures, could be an older Willys from your past as well:

My eWillys Rig

Pete if you have some additional original pictures build pictures or information happy to update the post. I was lucky to have gotten a photo album with my Red Wagon filled with shots of the build, and what a transformation that rig has gone through in his 30+ years of ownership.
