I just picked up this Viasa brochure from Egypt via eBay (along with some other 1 sheet brochures). Note that these rigs are all powered by the Perkins Diesel. I’ve dated this using the legal notice at the bottom of page three that ends in “1969”.

This front page is about 8.5″ x 11″ landscape oriented:

This middle section opens horizontally:

This is the back page:

I could not find dates on these, but the models and designs look very similar to the 1969 brochure, so I can only guess these are from around 1969. Each of these models are similar to the M-series forward control designs.

The “Jeep” Campeardo is reflective of the M-676; just a basic forward control truck:

This “Jeep” Duplex has four doors and a small truck bed, similar to the M-677:

The “Jeep” Toledo is similar to the M-678:

This “Jeep” Furgon has few windows than the Toledo model above, sort of like the M-679:

Here’s another interesting 4-page brochure (my guess would be circa 1958) made for the South African market that I picked up on eBay.

This rare brochure for an Angus “Invincible” Fire Engines was produced for South Africa. I looked for an example of an Angus Willys Fire engine jeep, but could not locate any examples. I had hoped this brochure had more images, but there’s only the one image on the cover.

Here’s another brochure out of South Africa. I’m not sure what made the DJ-3A “More Dependable” than other Willys 2WD trucks, but it’s on the brochure, so it must be true?!?

I snagged this rare 40+ page  brochure off of eBay. I am guessing that this was printed before the FC-170 was introduced in the summer of 1957, because the FC-170 page was a drop in page without a page number.

One aspect of this I found interesting was that the brochure leads off with the CJ-3B, which wasn’t something happening in the US domestic brochures, where the CJ-5 was more likely to be published first. Also, the last page shows an “Authorized Service & Genuine Parks logo I can’t remember seeing on brochures or signs.

Finally, these scans aren’t quite as nice as others I have done. The scanning app I was using was forcing me to begin paying a monthly fee of $10/mo and I wasn’t interested in doing that, so I’ve been experimenting with other scanning apps, but having found anything that thrills me yet.
