Willys-Overland began publishing the Salesbuilder magazines in July of 1948 with the announcement of the Jeepster. The Salesbuilder supplanted the W-O Sales News magazine. According to a small blurb on Google (I can’t read the whole reference), the Salesbuilder was part fo the effort to push the Jeepster.

I own a couple of Salesbuilder magazines, but those are the only ones I’ve seen. Below is a series of covers that I’ve been able to document so far. I’d like to find more.

As far as I know, Salesbuilder issues were published between July of 1948 and as late as August of 1951. By early 1954 (possibly January), Kaiser Willys had shuttered the magazine format for a newspaper format (see the March 1954, volume 1, issue 2 at the bottom of this post).

(05/04/2019) This has some tool indents, but the gas inlet is missing (probably removed, as the gas tank sits in the cargo area now). Strangely, there appears to be also a custom tank underneath the cargo area.

“This is your chance to get rust free resto-mod Colorado iconic CJ-3B! An awesome winter project for you.

It’s been in my family since the 60’s. Mostly restored with many upgrades. Full flanged Dana 44 rear from 1971 CJ-5, narrow track Dana 35 with disc brakes up front. Rebuilt 225 Buick Dauntless V6 from S&B engines. Rebuilt TH350 automatic (don’t get me started about the A/T…) could easily be converted back to a manual. Sorry don’t have the original trans anymore. Comes with Koenig hardtop and doors. The hardtop and doors need new glass.

This is being sold as a project in process! I’ve got too many other irons in the fire for now. You must know how to wrench to get this beauty back on the trail. Serious inquiries only.”

“Selling a 1959 Jeep FC170. IT HAS A 289 FORD ENGINE WITH A C4 TRANSMISSION.
Also comes with a extra running gear from a Chevy Blazer. Myself would prefer to keep the jeep running gear under it. The blazer running gear would give it a higher highway speed.
Only selling because I just DO NOT have time to finish it as it does need some TLC.
It runs drives and stops and 4 wheel drive works. Does have the normal jeep rust but not as much as most.”
