Doron Segal from Israel shared these photos. In memory of his father, Doron has rebuilt a 1942 GPW with the number “4062”.  His father served in the “Samson Foxes“.

The two photos below are from a fifteenth club event in Israel, 2010 (see more current photos here).  Doron can be seen driving his GPW in the first one:

doron-segal-1942-gpwdoron-segal-1942-gpw2Here are some vintage photos. They jeeps shown are a mix of MB/GPWs, CJ-2As and a Lefty CJ-2A. It looks like the rear extension was a must-have modification. Note the number on the jeep in the first photo.

Business Card for Bean’s Garage in Pennsylvania

David Silberman forwarded this vintage jeep business card. He writes, “Here is a scan of a business card from a Willys dealer in the area. They (brothers Ike and Joe) were an associate dealer and were very good with parts and repair. They also had a Koenig backhoe on a Jeep truck, which they used to dig graves, among other uses.

We bought a 1953 Aero Ace from them in 1955, and in 1958 bought a 1947 CJ2A. The Aero cost $1,000 and we got 200,000 miles out of it. The CJ was $300. We kept it until we traded it for a new CJ5 in 1960. They went out of the Jeep business in the early 60’s. I attended the auction of the place about 8 years ago. Joe was still alive at that time.

Early 1950s Brochure on eBay

This brochure that Marc found shows the CJ-3A employed in a variety of jobs. The use of the triangle in the illustration is interesting.

“This listing is for a vintage advertisement. It is an ad for Willys Overland Motors of Toledo Ohio and their universal Jeeps. The ad folds out like a small poster. There is a dealer address stamp on it. I am not positive but I believe this advertisement is from the 1930’s. It is filled with information and pictures from that time frame. It is roughly 17″ x 11″ when it is unfolded.”

1957 Wagon Lexington, KY **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.

The consensus is that this wagon is the same one as this 1956 single-door Florida wagon. The only difference we can spot are the license plates.

“Restored 1957 Jeep Willys, finished in blue and white. Mechanically sound: runs great, starts right up (it has a Buick V8 under the hood). Transfer case has been rebuilt. Tires are like new.

Cosmetically: It has never seen snow since being restored, and it has won multiple shows. No bondo, this Willys was restored properly. Very clean inside and out. Has single delivery door on the rear.

Clean Kentucky title, 2 sets of keys.”

This is worth a look.

“This Willy’s had a frame off restoration in 2007/2008, and has approximately 303 miles since restoration. Very little rust on frame or jeep body, original tub does have few bondo spots from previous owner, but professionally done. These body tubs can be purchased new and easily installed if a new looking Willy’s is your style – although, this Willy’s looks great as is. Strong original engine that was also re-built at restoration. All gauges work except the fuel gauge. 4×4 is perfect, as are the shifting capabilities. Radiator has been re-cored, so like new, and new thermostat was also installed.
Windshield w/wiper motor and complete extra frame included, orig. manual too. Frame is in excellent cond. sand blasted and primed!
I’ll deliver free within Vt.”
