This December 1954 Volume I, Issue I was the first issue of the ‘new’ KW Booster News, a monthly newspaper designed to inform employees. Updates would include the newest announcements, company updates, employee updates (such as the new profit sharing model), and  intra-company events (such as intramural bowling teams). This first issue introduces the brand new CJ-5, among other announcements.

I’m not sure how many issues of the KW Booster were published. The only other issue of this newspaper on eWillys is the June 1958, Vol. 2, No. 1.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1400.

(10/08/2019) Look like a later 2A grille. Seller notes that it includes an L-head, but it appears from the pic that it is actually an F-head (that does look to have been rebuilt).
