1950 Willys Sedan Delivery Brochure Blue

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

I’d forgotten that I’d bought this brochure until it arrived yesterday. So, here’s yet another 1950/51 Sedan Delivery brochure with the same brochure number of SD-73-MI–80M–350. This one has a blue front and a copper-colored(?) delivery sedan on the main page. I’ll get the page comparing these sedan delivery brochure updated after I post some others tomorrow.

This is how the folded front page looks:

This is the folded back page:

1950-03-FORM-SD-73-MI--80M--350-sedan-delivery-brochure-blue2-lores

When unfolded vertically, this page appears:

When unfolded horizontally, this page appears highlighting the new Hurricane engine:

James Sessions WWII Images on Menus

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

Bill shared an image of a menu from the Blackstone Hotel in Omaha. It was one of several hotels that featured James Sessions’ images on hotel menus. Anyone know the history behind why hotels were doing that?

For a complete overview of the Willys-Overland WWII (and post WWII) illustrations featuring jeeps, this page demonstrates how the illustrations unfolded over the years 1941-1946. For an analysis of how the changes in verbiage may have reflected changes as Willys-Overland during the war years, view this page.

I’m sure there are more examples than the ones gathered below. Here is what I have so far:

This is the Blackstone Hotel example that Bill shared:

This one is from the Lexington Hotel in New York City:

And this one is from the Hotel New Yorker:

The Benjamin Franklin also ran this other menu with a different illustration:

Ramsey Bulletin 114 For the X-200 Winch (CJ-2A/CJ-3A)

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

This Bulletin 114 from Ramsey Winch includes a good illustration of the underside of the jeep with a Ramsey X-200 PTO winch installed. A price listed was also included with the brochure. Below this post, you can see the truck and wagon brochure version of the X-200 winch.

No Updates Monday

I spent all of Sunday packing up the office, so no Monday updates. I’m behind on comment responses, so bear with me.

Before packing up the jeep ‘toys’ yesterday, I took this photo. It’s not all the toys, but it is most of them. I never set out to collect toys, as I didn’t have the room. Still, somehow, I ended up with these. It’s probably good that I restrained myself; less toys to pack!

1950 Willys Sedan Delivery Export Company Brochure

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

This is the fifth of five similar brochures, though it’s the only one described as a Willys-Overland Export Company Brochure. It highlights the Willys Sedan Delivery vehicle. The form number is SD-73-MI–80M–350. Like the others, it is nearly 22″x17″.

The brochure in the post below this appears to be the same, though with different colors, and it states it is from Willys-Overland Motors. Why are they different? I don’t know.

This is how the folded front page looks:

1950-03-FORM-SD-73-MI--80M--350-sedan-delivery-brochure1-lores

This is the folded back page:

When unfolded vertically, this page appears:

1950-03-FORM-SD-73-MI--80M--350-sedan-delivery-brochure3-lores

When unfolded horizontally, this page appears highlighting the new Hurricane engine:

1950 Willys Sedan Delivery Brochure

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

I don’t have a high resolution version of this brochure, as it’s more expensive (almost $50 after shipping and taxes .. it comes from Australia) than I’d like to pay. You can see it was originally sent to Minnesota (Cutler Motors Sales, Mora, MN). How it got to Australia I couldn’t say. Curiously, it has the same form number as the export version in the post above: SD-73-MI–80M–350.

You can view more info on eBay

As with the one above, this is the front of the folded brochure:

1950-03-orange-FORM-SD-73-MI--80M--350-sedan-delivery-brochure1

This is the folded back page:

1950-03-orange-FORM-SD-73-MI--80M--350-sedan-delivery-brochure2

When unfolded vertically, this page appears:

1950-03-orange-FORM-SD-73-MI--80M--350-sedan-delivery-brochure3

When unfolded horizontally, this page appears highlighting the new Hurricane engine:

1950-03-orange-FORM-SD-73-MI--80M--350-sedan-delivery-brochure4

When completely unfolded, this page appears:

1950? Willys Sedan Delivery Brochure

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

There’s no form number on this Willys Sedan Brochure, but based on the style, I would say it’s a 1950 brochure. This is the front of the brochure. Once I receive on additional brochure, I’ll demonstrate the series of 1950 wagon/truck nose brochures.

1950-willys-sedan-delivery-no-form-number-brochure1-lores

This is the back fo the unfolded brochure:

1950-willys-sedan-delivery-no-form-number-brochure6-lores

When unfolded vertically, this page appears:

1950-willys-sedan-delivery-no-form-number-brochure2-lores

When unfolded once more, this time horizontally, this page appears. One interesting detail is that the other similar brochure refer to the engine as “new”, but this one refers to the engine as “Famous”. Thus, I suspect this is a late 1950 brochure.

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

UPDATE: Thanks to a May 27, 1949, article in the Rhinelander Daily News (Wisconsin), we now know that the Forestry Demonstration occurred on May 26th. There’s also more in-depth information on the event within the article.
