Roberto Flores shared this magazine ad, reprinted in a book.

Roberto wrote: “I have just scanned this image from “The American Jeep in War and Peace”, by Kurt Willinger and Gene Gurney, Crown Publishers. I love the image: at least for me it depicts my idea of jeep: adventure, freedom, friendship, nature… Although I have been searching for this at the net, I couldn´t find it.”

Here’s a second set of Lift-O-Matic Hydraulic Tailgate brochures.

ORIGINAL POST (02/23/2013):  This was sold in 2013 on eBay.

Thanks to Ted for letting me borrow and scan this brochure. It will be the basis of the next poster, though I will be making some changes to it. I *think* this is a 1959ish brochure, as the truck/wagon windshields are still two piece, yet there is no DJ-3A Surrey.

UPDATE: This is back on eBay.

UPDATE: Thanks to Andy for inspiration.  I located a photo of the founder of Little Percent, Natalie Gignoux, in a CJ-3A. You can view some other, non jeep photos, here.

Natalie Gignoux (b1940-d2009) first opened the “Little Percent Taxi”, originally a jeep service to help folks around Aspen. In 1955 she bought a taxi service. In 1962 she sold out to another taxi service. In 2009 she passed away in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Some history (which I hope to wind into more of a narrative):

2018-09-13 — Original Story was about the brochure on eBay.

This one was on eBay. I thought I would win it on Sunday, but someone outbid me at the last minute. Anyone have an electronic scan of the folded-out page? I’d like to use it to make another poster similar to last year’s poster.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay.

Late 40s brochure based on one of the drawings, which has bumper gussets and the CJ-2A-type transfer case crossmember.

Jim shared this magazine advertisement featured in the August 1973 issue of Four Wheeler Magazine.

For comparison, two years earlier, in 1971, this ad below was published in PNW4WDA Region 1 directory.

A 1970 Four Wheeler article that introduced the Bobcat body to folks outside the Pacific Northwest featured this logo, which was used in both ads above.
