It lacks an engine, but does have a title.

“Just putting feelers out there for my 1953 CJ3B. It’s in decent shape but needs work. The axles and running gear are in good shape. The frame is good. Has all its body panels. It needs an engine. Clean Ohio title and original Vin plate. It’s a great project but I need something that’s a little more family friendly. Shoot me a serious offer. Must go complete will not just sell the title and vin plate. Sold as is.”

“1951 or 52 Willys M38 Jeep. Needs to be restored. It has all parts except the radiator and bumpers as far as I know. The engine is locked up from being stored for so long. I started the restore by taking it apart to get the frame dipped but, never got around to doing that. The frame is solid though. I do not have a title my dad bought this from his friend many years ago and he did have it titled but my dad never go it done. The pictures are of the jeep before I removed the tub from the frame. You will need a trailer to move this. The axels and wheels have also been removed from the frame. EDIT — I also have a canvas top for it but it is missing the plastic rear window”

May 1949 Salesbuilder

This issue May 1949 Salesbuilder has seen some better days, but the info matters more to me than the condition. The cover boasts about “smooth” the new Jeepster is, but I never discovered what was so “smooth” about it, unless the company was referring to the new fabric top?

Most interesting to me was the pic on the last page, lower right. It shows the Palmer Dealership sitting right next to a Koenig sign, leading me to wonder if somehow the two businesses were related at some point? I knew both were out of Houston, but it never occurred to me that they might be connected.

Gayland shared these photos showing the military DJ-5s offered by AMC in the early 1970s. Time has tinted the images. The “brown” Army jeeps are actually OD green for the Army, while the Navy “white” jeeps may actually be haze gray.
