1950/1951 Willys Sedan Delivery Brochure Black/White

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

UPDATE: Thanks to Joe-in-Mesa, I obtained a yellow version of this same 1950/1951 brochure, though the form number (SD 73 M5 651-1CM the 651 may indicate this was published June of 1951) is different. The only difference between the two that I can see between this one and the brochure at the bottom is the color of the brochure (yellow).

Here is the front:

1951-06-form-SD-73-M5-651-1CM-wagon-brochure-1

Here is the back:1951-06-form-SD-73-M5-651-1CM-wagon-brochure-2

The brochure opens vertically to reveal this page:

1951-06-form-SD-73-M5-651-1CM-wagon-brochure-3

and then the brochure opens horizontally to reveal this page:

1951-06-form-SD-73-M5-651-1CM-wagon-brochure-4

Here’s the back fully opened:

================================

UPDATE: Originally posted March 3, 2021, this post was part of another post about similar brochures of the period.

Finally, one more, similar Willys Sedan Delivery brochure, only it’s not as large or as colorful as the others. In fact, I’d call it a black, gray and white brochure. It’s form number is SD-M3-73–50M. Given it doesn’t label the Hurricane engine as new, it’s probably later than the other brochures, maybe 1951.

This is the front of the unopened brochure.

Postcard of FC-Tour Jeep in “San Juans”

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

I just bought this postcard. It was mis-listed under “Jeeping on the San Juan Islands, Washington”. Now, Mt. Moran is a pretty good sized mountain (for the San Juan Islands), but pales in comparison to the San Juan Mountains in Colorado, where this photo was obviously taken. This is a 4×6 card and I’m hoping I can identify which tour jeep the is once I get the card. Given the red cage and red bar up the center, I’m leaning towards this being mine.

Andy shared these ads. One is for a General Electric 200 Amp Arc Welder brochure and the other is for the Universal Jeep. Both appear to be from 1945.

McCain Hub Winch Brochure

I recently purchased a special equipment binder off ebay. Usually, there are a few interesting brochures inside. This time, it was full of these pink price sheets, like this:

However, thankfully, inside the book there was a second small booklet that did have some brochures, and a few interesting ones.

As an example, I’ve never run across this unusual 4-page McCain Hub Winch brochure.

This is a product I didn’t know existed at one time. According to this four-page brochure, the Warn-A-Larm is a backup alarm device to warn folks when a vehicle is backing. It appears the brochure is from June 1969.

Jeeps, INC., Sierra Package Trip Brochure

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

The Sierra Pack’age’ Trip Tri-Fold brochure was probably printed in the early 1960s. It’s the first time I have run across a California or Sierra Nevada brochure for guided jeep tours.  The company is referenced both as “Jeeps, Inc.” and as “Sierra Tours by Jeeps, Inc.”.

This 3rd page only has print on one side. It’s a flyer that was stuck into the brochure.
