UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Here’s an unusual brochure that highlights a variety of jeeps used in the movie Hatari starring John Wayne.

“Original 1962 Jeep advertising brochure based on the film Hatari with John Wayne. The brochure measures 8.5 x 22” when unfolded. It has a series of photos from the Hatari film, including some nice shots of John Wayne. The text describes 4 different Jeep models that are pictured and that were used in the film. It includes lines like “What a combination: rugged John Wayne and powerful Jeep vehicles.” This 50 year old Jeep brochure has the original address label on it but is still in excellent condition.”

Here are other images from the sale of a Hatari brochure in October of 2019:

UPDATE:  **SOLD**  Was priced at $8000.

This is actually one of two trucks.   Both sold quickly.

“1955 Willys fire truck. A rare piece indeed. It was left alone in a storage unit since 1986. It has 3100 miles on it. The body and interior are really nice on it. With some mechanical work this baby will the hit of the parade! Siren and light work! Complete with hoses, ladder, ax and even the lantern. It does run and I have moved it forwards and back. And put it in 4×4. I tuned it up, changed the oil, flushed the gas tank. However, these are the things I know it needs: has no brakes, radiator, water pump, PTO universals.”

1953 Tour De France Delahaye Jeep

UPDATE:  Oops, Roberto correctly points out that this is a Delahaye and not a Hotchkiss.  I was wondering about the fenders not looking correct for a Hotchkiss.  

The caption of the picture, if I’m translating this correctly, means “The editor of Paris Match is perched on the famous weekly publication’s jeep for the Tour de France in 1953.  This is a French Hotchkiss jeep.  You can learn more about the Hotchkiss at Andy’s Military Jeep Site or in French here.

Yes, the readers of “Finding Virginia” now span from the Northern reaches of Norway, thanks to Even, and to the Southern region of South Africa, thanks to Claus.  There are even a few books at points in between the two!

Even wrote to tell me he was sharing his copy of my book with a friend of his named Reider Haugen.  He added, “Reidar is among many Jeepers in Norway that keep himself updated with Ewillys every day  He is also one of the members of Flatfender Fellows here in Norway. I brought my sample of “Finding Virginia” for him to have a look as you see from the picture.

Reidar is almost done with his very nice Willys Utility Delivery with a GM engine and some Scout parts underneath.  This is going to be a nice daily driver next to his Willys Pickup Truck sporting a Volvo engine. Remember we are close to the Swedes . . .

In the middle you can see my Jeep Cj-7 Golden Eagle that I have owned for excactly 24 years today. 

Now you know how far your book has spread around the world! We both wanted to thank you for the best webpage ever for us Jeep-enthusiasts”

Thanks guys, I love the picture!
