Just a few updates for Saturday. Updates resume Sunday.
June 1960 The Handiest Brochure
1952 4 Wheel Drive Booklet
UPDATE: A revised version of the 4 Wheel Drive “How to” booklet can be viewed here.
I would guess this is an early 1952 booklet. The “W” shown on the back likely puts it after the big push in 1952 to shift towards the Willys marketing umbrella, but not late enough to list the 1953 475 model truck.
Year? CJ-2A Grand Rapids, MI **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.
(11/05/2019) The title that goes with this claims it is a 1943, but it looks to be more of a compilation of parts.
“1943 Jeep Willys with CLEAR TITLE.
Title says: 1943 Willys.
a 6-1/2 ft snowplow and hydraulic pump and 2 small boxes with other parts and extra steering box.
also 2 front windshield frames hanging on the snowplow are part of the sale.

1954 Utility Ambulance Brochures
The first brochure, Form W-230-5, is the domestic brochure. The second brochure, Form SX-230-4, was released by the Willys-Overland Export Company.
There are small differences between the two brochures on both the front and back pages. The interior pages are the same.

1954 4WD Ambulance Brochures
The first brochure, Form W-228-5, is the domestic brochure. The second brochure, Form SX-228-4, was released by the Willys-Overland Export Company.

This photo and caption was published in the December 13, 1956, Madera Daily News-Tribune.
1953 CJ-3B Selbyville, DE **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** for $5200 on eBay.
It’s got some update. No reserve auction. Price was $2650 as of this posting. Curiously, it doesn’t have the channel for the top across the windshield. Either it was removed or this is a DJ-3A convertible windshield.
