I’ve seen a variety of jeep matchbook covers, but I believe this is the first with a military theme. It doesn’t seem to be advertising anything either.
I believe this “I was the one that couldn’t even change a tire” postcard has the WAAC working on a jeep. It’s not one of the better jeep drawings we have seen.
It’s not a very large game, but still kind of a neat piece.

John shared these photos taken by his cousin Eddie.
“My cousin Eddie Bachmann got drafted in May 1944, ended up south of the battle of the Buldge around Hagenau, France, in january 1945 as a mortar man. The 42 Division went on to liberate Dachau in April 1945 and by mid summer were occupation troops in Zell am See, Austria. By that time he was a 6 stripe Sergeant and still only 18. Here are some photos of his buddies and Jeeps. He later became a Catholic priest.”
This 1956 testimonial by the Carolina Tool Company was published in the May 1956 issue of Willys News.
This issue has some great stuff. Note the last page with the modified truck. I wished the photos were clearly.

This 1954/1955 brochure is the Spanish translation of a brochure titled in English: “The World’s Most Useful Vehicles and their Special Equipment”. It also seems to be known as “Jeep Specialized Vehicles and Equipment”:
