The top 1/4th of this foldout is a different page than the lower 3/4. The lower 3/4 folds down. Also, note the ‘Jeep’ badge that appears subtly in the lower right corner.

1955 Article About California Jeep Trip That Turned Bad

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old News Articles This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This story about a jeep trip that turned deadly was repeated across the country. I tried to find “Amazon Canyon”, which is supposed to be east of TwentyNine Palms, but couldn’t locate it.

This version of the article appeared in the June 27, 1955, issue of the Lincoln Journal Star (Lincoln, Nebraska).

1950 Willys DeLuxe Station Wagon Brochure

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

There’s no date or form number related to this colorful brochure. You’ll note that sometimes “Deluxe” with a small “l” is used and in other places “DeLuxe” is used. It may be the first brochure that highlighted the “DeLuxe” model (see a later one here).
