‘Lola’ Tackles the Borders of Texas

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features, Old Images, Old News Articles • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This article from the June 1955 issue of Willys News shares the brief story of Frank Tolbert’s 5,000 mile trip around the state of Texas. Accompanying Frank were Frank, Jr., and a CJ-5 then named Lola.

I have found a series of articles published over successive weeks in the Dallas Morning News about their trip. However, I have to sign up and pay a fee to use it. Anyone have free access? I would like to see what the article say before having to buy anything.

1957 Wagon Fredericksburg, VA $6000

• CATEGORIES: Willys Wagons This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Runs and drives.

“1957 Willy’s wagon, 4X4, 4spd manual transmission, flat head 4 cylinder engine. Body is in great shape with no major rust issues, no holes missing parts or cheap replacement panels found. Frame is solid and straight. Interior has been completely redone about 5 years ago and looks great. New wiring harness throughout entire wagon. All glass replaced around the same time as interior. New wheel cylinders, brakes, and spring kits. Engine runs smooth with no noises. Transfer case and hubs work as they should. Trans has a bad synchro in 2nd gear, you can still drive just pops out of 2nd when you let off of the gas. Has stump pulling granny gear transfer case gearing. No noises or rattling from the rears. All around solid wagon for someone to completely restore or drive as is. Asking $6,000.00 for the Willy’s which is below collector market value for the current condition. You would be hard pressed to find a classic in as good of condition as this one for the same money! Must see in person, give me a call so we can arrange a time,”

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Pics now provided. 

(11/01/2014) “Runs and drives good, put another $10,000 into it or run it like it is,
email or text for more info, would make a good quick little winter project if you are a perfectionest! Throw out bearing is starting to wind a little when clutch is in, easy $150 fix, seats need reupolstering, no rust holes anywhere frame is solid, does have some putty in body. But all in all for a 67 year old jeep its in pretty good condition. What you see in the pics is what you get, no doors and a bikinni top. I have ran it the last two summers, it goes great and is a blast to drive!”

Seller must sell.

“Moving to Thailand, must sell my collection.
This is one of my favorites. Live at the beach and drive every day. This car attracts more attention than 100k cars that frequent the streets.
Buick V-6, power steering and automatic transmission make cruising a laid back art form.
Will miss this car much, it has been very dear to me. Give it a loving home. Low ballers save your breath!”
