August 1960 Traveller Brochure

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

I bought this rare Traveller brochure off of ebay, one I’d never seen. It’s printed on a heavier than usual paper, almost card stock thick. This is the earliest example of a Traveller brochure that I’ve seen. This brochure is form number 8-9-tr-60-8-1.

This brochure starts as a 5.5″ x 8.5″ brochure. Here’s the front page. The use of “Traveller’s” plural refers to the 2WD and 4WD as separate models. A 1961 brochure used the singular Traveler and did not show the 2WD with its different styling, but a 1962 switched back to the plural Travellers.

Andy spotted this traveller for sale. It will take some work, but might make an interesting tour-wagon-jeep. Thankfully, this is NOT close to me!

I believe this is a modified Traveller.

“1963 Willys. 350/350 automatic. Solid vehicle. Not a show car. Clean black interior. Paint is not perfect, but looks good. New 33” Wild Peak tires on 15×10 Pro Comp rims. Drives great in 2WD. Issue with 4WD. Front hubs will lock, but transfer case will not engage. Price has been dropped for this reason. Will consider trade/partial trade offers for another classic. K5, Chevelle, Vw Bus, Bug or Type 3 or something cool. Clean Ca. title in my name.”

Could be worth a look. I can’t tell if this had bench seats in the back or not.
