East Penn Jeepers License Plate Frame on eBay

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

Seth spotted this unusual item.

“garage sale find: older heavy duty frame and plate with a cool older fifties or sixties jeep…….remember them ? great graphics on plate with the frame needing some TLC or POLISHING. selling cheap as found at $9.99 and no reserve. may look good mounting it just as it is !!! unfortunately the heavy frame will add some costs to shipping (about 3 lbs) to the costs. If I am way off (more than $3 ) I will return some of the shipping charges…….this is a ballpark guess for the listing. Priority mail shipping with tracking and insurance added free. check my 100% feedback to bid safe every time ! see my other auctions for more rare finds”

A poster of a penguin driving a Bantam BRC-60 sponsored by Kool Cigarettes. It is 20″ wide by 30″ tall.

“Up for sale is this Super Rare estate fresh WWII era Kool Cigarettes advertising sign / poster featuring Kool’s Willie the Penguin in WWII attire driving a military jeep with a Kool Cigarette Machine Gun on the hood and shells exploding in the background. The poster reads ‘KOOLS The Pack To Take Wherever You Go!’ The bottom of the poster reads ‘Save B&W Coupons for US War Stamps’. The poster measures 30 inches tall by 20 inches wide. The poster is in good condition for its age and has great color although there is a good deal of wear and creases around the edges and holes where the poster had been hung (Please See Photos). These issues don’t take away from this great WWII advertising image and this would make a great addition to any WWII, Advertising, or Tobacco collection.”

‘Lola’ Tackles the Borders of Texas

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

This article from the June 1955 issue of Willys News shares the brief story of Frank Tolbert’s 5,000 mile trip around the state of Texas. Accompanying Frank were Frank, Jr., and a CJ-5 then named Lola.

I have found a series of articles published over successive weeks in the Dallas Morning News about their trip. However, I have to sign up and pay a fee to use it. Anyone have free access? I would like to see what the article say before having to buy anything.

Late 1940s Delivery Panel Wagon Brochure

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

This is a circa 1949 delivery panel wagon brochure marked PDCM1-3CM-949 that highlights the advantages of a Willys Panel Delivery Jeep. It’s a brochure that could act as a mailing brochure as well. What makes the brochure’s design a little unusual is that the first ‘fold’ is vertical, rather than horizontal, making it 17″ by 5.5″ when first unfolded.

If folded, this was the 8.5″ by 5.5″ front page:

willys-panel-delivery-pdcm1-3cm-949-1

And this the back: willys-panel-delivery-pdcm1-3cm-949-2

 

When unfolded, this makes a 17″ x 5.5″ graphic:
