Early Warn Manufacturing Co. History

This May 1957 Willys News article provides some interesting history about the Warn Manufacturing Company. Apparently there was some early resistance to using the first generation of the warn hubs, because jeep owners felt they’d purchased their jeeps for the four wheel drive capability. The initial hubs turned the jeeps into two wheel drive, which some owners felt defeated the whole point of owning a jeep. However, through education and marketing, the Warn folks slowly turned naysayers into advocates.

From a 1995 Field & Stream Magazine article:

These were the first locking/unlocking hubs Warn developed. These were advertised as early as October of 1953 in the Popular Mechanics:

“1957 Willys Jeep CJ3B Civilian Jeep.

Full frame off restoration 7 years ago and there is still zero rust in any of the body panels. The floorboards are 100% solid and intact. Very rare to find in this kind of condition! Only 340 miles since all work was completed. Must more invested than asking price! 

72HP original 4 cylinder engine
All gears work and all driveline components have been rebuilt. 
New military implement tires on original wheels. 
Have rear seat, auxiliary fuel tank, trailer hitch and many spare parts. 

Great for military vehicle collection, parade use or just for fun! Unique find in this condition. No expense was spared to ensure originality and completeness. You will not find this type vehicle in as nice of condition anywhere! 

Selling for a customer, so feel free to call, text or email. Will return with info as soon as available. 
Thank you,
Mike”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $1200. 

Seller has lots of parts.

“Started a restoration project, at the time when I bought this from Tri State Motors in Cedar City they had another one so I bought both. After many years and thousands of dollars, I don’t have the space and time to do a restoration.

This would make a great restoration project, buyer will be receiving almost 2 of everything (spare parts, doors, hood) .

I do have a 350 Chev high performance motor (it is not the original motor) and it is not on the wagon. Selling it seperately.

I am asking $1200 for the Jeep (that includes all of the spare parts from the extra one I had)
For the 350 motor $1600 (separately)
I also have a 12,000 pound winch with 5/16 cable for $100”
