This is a neat Willys Export Corp fold out brochure that highlights the CJ-3B, CJ-5, and the CJ-6.
Here’s a cool photo of a FC-150 Tow Truck at work on a race track, though the FC doesn’t take up much of the image. I’ve made the FC portion a little bigger in the photo below.
From http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/07/bizarre-stuff.html comes this rare fleetvan photo from 1974. It shows Ron Elizada in front of a 1962 FJ-3 Fleet Van.

This chewing gum card picturing a crazy hopped up Jeepster was part of the 1980 Topps Chewing Gum Weird Willys Sicker #24: CREEP IN A JEEP.
I found this quiz from a sales training meeting from 1951. The quiz is available on eBay if you want to purchase it. I had planned to create an interactive quiz, but for some reason my theme isn’t cooperating with any of the quiz templates. Of course, I was disappointed, because I planned to have music, flashing lights, amazing colors, audio tracks, balloons, spaceships, prizes, and so much more . . . Instead, just use pencil and paper and imagine everything else . . . And thanks to Colin for organizing the answers for me!!

This is listed as a Willys Overland Document, but appears to come from the Studebaker Management Institute. Either way, it’s a pretty interesting read. The document has 8 pages total.
UPDATE: I didn’t have the link quite right on this video, so I wanted to update it in case anyone missed it.
Roberto spotted this video compilation. The poster of the video describes it as “8mm film by my Grandfather; around 1964-1968. These trips were in the western central Sierra Nevada Mountains.”
Grant is wondering if anyone recognizes this body? With the tool boxes in the wheel wells, I think it’s got a MB/GPW rear. It’s got a small part of the driver’s side windshield (just the angle part) which appears mb/gpw/cj2a ish.
