May 1949 Salesbuilder

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

This issue May 1949 Salesbuilder has seen some better days, but the info matters more to me than the condition. The cover boasts about “smooth” the new Jeepster is, but I never discovered what was so “smooth” about it, unless the company was referring to the new fabric top?

Most interesting to me was the pic on the last page, lower right. It shows the Palmer Dealership sitting right next to a Koenig sign, leading me to wonder if somehow the two businesses were related at some point? I knew both were out of Houston, but it never occurred to me that they might be connected.

More on Military DJ-5s

Gayland shared these photos showing the military DJ-5s offered by AMC in the early 1970s. Time has tinted the images. The “brown” Army jeeps are actually OD green for the Army, while the Navy “white” jeeps may actually be haze gray.

UPDATE :**SOLD** Was $12,000.

Looks original.

“All original cj6. Was running and driving great. I need to replace the ignition switch. Rare and very solid unmolested jeep with pto winch. I have title in hand. Firm on price! I see a lot of junkie jeeps out there being sold for high prices right now. I constantly look all over the country at Jeeps and this is well worth what I’m asking for it. I will not take a penny less, so please don’t waste my time with any offers that are less than my asking price!!!!”

“Selling my 1957 Willys “Jeep” FC-150 4×4 with a canvas top. It has been sitting on my grandfathers farm for the last 15 years. Now with my grandfathers farm getting sold, I figured I get this gem back home to find someone who can enjoy it and bring it back to its glory. It is a project truck, it does have the stock hurricane F-head (F-134) engine with a 3-speed manual transmission. With a new battery and gas I was able to get it running. The right rear wheel hub was seized due to the brakes being locked up, new hub has been installed. Does have a blowing heater/defroster. I do not have the seats, there is some rust but overall the body and bed is intact. The title has been lost but a quick trip to the DMV we can get the title transferred to you. Hate to get rid of the little truck but I just don’t have the time to start another project.”
