New VW Ad From Uruguay

Hugo spotted this recently published ad which shows a VW pulling a Willys Wagon out of the mud. I prefer to think of it as the Wagon winching the VW backwards 🙂

He writes, “It is an advertisement of a brand new VW Amarok pulling of an old Willys. Is it fair? We could say:” stuck  but still running!” Plates seem to be from Chile, but the willys could be an argentinian Estanciera. Journal is from Uruguay.”

Here’s the link http://www.elobservador.com.uy/noticia/257309/automoviles-todo-lo-que-siempre-quiso-saber/   & Go to the “read this” page 25.

The Jeep and How it Grew Article on eBay

The January 1953 issue of “Modern Man” magazine featured a story about the jeep’s history. However, given the M-38A1 prominently displayed at the top of the page, I can’t help but wonder if this was part public relations and part history piece.

It is missing its windshield, but otherwise looks in fair condition. I believe this was a dealer promotion. Here’s a slightly different version.

“Vintage Jeep Advertising Ashtray
Chrome-plated steel.
Measures 6 1/2″ in diameter.
The bowl portion of the ashtray rotates.
The 2 1/2″ long Jeep is missing its windshield.”

1945/1946 Willys CJ-2A Booklet

I got a chance to scan “The Universal Jeep”, a thirty-two page booklet published by Willys Overland. It was published by Willys-Overland to educate consumers (and dealers?) about the differences between the ‘war’ jeep and the CJ-2A. One of the sections provides some interesting details about the testing done with the CJ-2s. I’ve included that section below.
