March 1947? Universal Jeep in Industry Brochure
September 22, 2020 • CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
I’ve had this brochure for years, but never got around to scanning it until now. It’s form 473A250, which might mean it was published in March of 1947. This brochure folds out horizontally with four panes.
These next two images show how the entire brochure folds out, front and back.
1971 Movie “Venga A Fare Ilsoldato Da Noi” Poster **SOLD**
September 22, 2020 • CATEGORIES: Artists/Drawings, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This poster includes a jeep driven by soldiers looking as if they’d just driven from the Italian movie version of M*A*S*H. Given M*A*S*H was released the year before in 1970, maybe that wasn’t a coincidence?
As noted at IMDB, “A girl is drafted due to a misunderstanding and this gives her the occasion to check on her boy-friend, whom she believes to be a womanizer.”
“Original poster measures approximately 140 x 200 cm (78″x55″), in conditions as in the photo.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/17/2020) Nice looking restoration. It has a few cool extras (Hickey winch and ventilating windshield). My only quibble is that I wish the rear dually fenders were rounded rather than angled.

1946? CJ-2A? Bringhurst, IN $4250
September 22, 2020 • CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, DJ-3A • TAGS: Half-Top, Windshield. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4250.
(03/12/2020) This shows that the DJ-3A windshield for the Koenig hardtop also will fit the Meyer CJ-5 hardtop (in this case it’s a CJ-5 half-top). To me this adds weight to my theory that the Koenig hardtop used on DJ-3As should fit CJ-5s. This jeep also has a DJ-3A body (cut side type) and grille, at the very least.

A project my husband realized he has no time for. It runs and he does drive it around once in awhile.”
1950 CJ-3A Mableton, GA **Status Unknown**
September 22, 2020 • CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $5800.
Price dropped to $5800. Year changed to 1950. It lacks drain holes and a tailgate, so either this is an aftermarket body (fiberglass?) or its had work.
