The June 1943 issue of Motor Magazine out of Buenos Aires, Argentina, featured this introduction to the jeep on its front page. I snagged this copy off of eBay in December and it finally arrived. The 24-page magazine printed on newspaper covers a wide range of automotive subjects, most far above my rudimentary Spanish. I’m pretty surprised any of these survived!
Here are the first two pages (the only two that included the jeep as far as I could tell):
Also included in the magazine was this ad(?) featuring a jeep.
Hope you didn’t pay more than 20 centavos for it, Dave.
Well Steve, I did pay a bit more than $4.00, which is higher than 20 centavos. It all balances out with some of the donations of brochures, booklets and manuals folks send me. 🙂
