No Updates Sunday

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

The good news is that I’ve got some good stuff to share monday, but right now I’m busy completing my computer rebuild. I got my new terabyte hard drive on my laptop, which should give me plenty of hard drive space (1.5 Terabytes in total) for the next few years. However, during my move I ran into the normal tech problems (several old forgotten passwords and problems moving some applications to the new hard drive). Worse, something got into my email server this morning (maybe I opened a bad email?) and wiped out about 10 months of emails from my inbox. Not good. Fortunately, my ‘sent’ folder is still in tact, so I haven’t lost everything.

Sales Aides from the Product Merchandising Manual

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

A seller on eBay broke up a Product Merchandising Manual and sold it in pieces. I bought this section (Sales Aides), and several others. Unfortunately, I don’t have the resources to buy all of them (and some of them are overpriced in my opinion).

These three pages demonstrate items used by the sales team to sell Willys Vehicles. One of these aides I’ve never run across is the “Civil Defense Brochure” shown on Page 2 under Selective Marketing Booklets.

Market Research from the Product Merchandising Manual

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

This Market Research section of the Product Merchandising Manual is very interesting, particularly since it covers Washington State (where I live). Because some of the information is broken down by county, and because varies quite a bit, especially east and west of the Cascade Mountains, it’s likely possible to draw some national conclusions about vehicle ownership percentages, etc.

GPAs from Around the World

• CATEGORIES: Features, GPA (SEEP), Museums This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Mark asked about finding a SEEP in a museum. So, I this post reflects GPAs in museums and  around the world. I’m sure there are others. If you know of any more, please email me a link or add it to the comments.

In Bangkok, Thailand, this SEEP is housed with several other jeeps at the Chokchai Museum. This video shows a short walk around. That might be a M-606 next to it.

The Wheatcroft Collection, in Leicester, England, has a great collection of vehicles, including this GPA. Here are many more photos of the collection.
