The August 20, 1944, issue of the Evening Star shared these jeeps used for War Bond Sales. They were modified by the Camp Gruber, Oklahoma, motor pool. The image with “Jeeps in Civvies” label has been featured on eWillys previously, but I’ve never seen the other two jeeps.

Nordstrom’s 1960 Wagon

I didn’t learn a whole lot about this truck, but apparently in 2015 this truck cruised the west coast as some type of grassroots(?) marketing venture for Nordstrom. Multiple photos of it are shown on a marketing site called “Out Cold”. I think “Out Cold” leases/rents the truck for events?

I don’t think I’ve documented this ad. I can’t remember seeing one that included a photo/illustration of just the body (lower right corner).
