So here we have three separate auctions, each for the same Willys Overland Service sign. The auctioneer (Vail International Incorporated) will ship (good news) and again I ask: “Where will you find another?” (Well, the auctioneer found three, but that’s besides the point)…

ANTIQUE PORCELAIN WILLYS SERVICE OVERLAND SIGN (Auction #2)


ANTIQUE PORCELAIN WILLYS SERVICE OVERLAND SIGN (Auction #3)

And once again, a great addition to someone’s garage…(Maybe even yours?) And you’ve got three chances with this one…

Willys Knight Whippet Advertising Dealer DSP Sign – Auction

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

Couple of notes on this auction – first, what a rarity. Yes, the condition isn’t great, but where will you find another?

Second, this has a minimum opening bid of $250 (kind of a potential “gotcha” as I’ve seen other items listed with very high required opening bids–buyer beware!)

Still, I think this is a pretty cool item, and will be a great addition to someone’s garage…(maybe yours?)

In the listing, the auctioneer has added multiple additional close up photos better detailing the condition of the sign.

1931 Willys Six Model- Willys 6

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

I ran across some really nice pictures from a 2019 Auction of a 1931 Willys 6 Coupe, noted as a Model 97A. It sold for $26,400 (not sure if that is with or with out fee)

Either way I figured would share the pictures then I already had a bunch of Willy 6 stuff clipped from a few years ago so I went back and did a formal search for the 1931 information to tie it all together.

Low and behold the Willy 6 in general was a pretty successful ride for its time, setting records and winning races. Some fairly prestigious like it’s Pikes Peak class and up against some much higher funded rigs.

Enjoy, I thought it was really neat stuff, especially for the time frame.

1951 Farm Jeep & Jeep Tractor Brochure

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

UPDATE: I was surprised to recently see a 1953 ad for a Farm ‘Jeep’ in the Nevada State Journal (March 05, 1953, pg 9). Remember that the Farm ‘Jeep’, along with the ‘Jeep’ Tractor, were models produced mostly in 1951 and 1952, along with a line of jeep implements.

As you can see from this timeline reproduced below from the CJ-3A.info page, there were very few Farm ‘Jeep’s produced at all and none in 1953, though a handful of CJ-3B Farm ‘Jeep’s were made (see CJ-3B page for more info on the 3B version). So the use of the ad is curious.
