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:

1950-03-orange-FORM-SD-73-MI--80M--350-sedan-delivery-brochure5

And, finally, this is how the back appears when unfolded: Continue reading

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.

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.

March 1957 French-Canadian Ad for the FC-150 + Sign

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

UPDATE: Todd shared a sign that matches the Jeep sign which appears in the lower part of the ad at the bottom of this post. I’ve not seen one quite like this, so I imagine it was only available in Canada?

The sign was double sided, but he separated the halves so he could hang them on the wall. Here are some pics:

This is the back of the sign. It was made by Tek, a company still in business in Canada.

This March 1957 ad in an unknown magazine highlighted the FC-150 distributers.

1948? Jeep Station Sedan Brochure

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

In 1950 the Jeep Station Sedan line was upgraded with the Lightening 6 engine. Apparently, that didn’t stimulate sales, as the Sedan model was canceled later in 1950. For some reason, there’s no form number attached to this brochure (I can’t figure out why some brochures have form numbers and some don’t). The four-page brochure opens horizontally. Since it didn’t fit on my scanner, I ‘scanned’ it with my phone, but it didn’t scan all that well. It doesn’t look as dirty in person as it does in the pics.
