UPDATE: It’s been almost nine years since I posted a series of Testimonials to the early jeeps that were part of a very rare early sales book. Most, but not all, included images. A friend of mine shared them with me. You can see them all here: http://www.ewillys.com/tag/1946-testimonials/

Thanks to Andy for sharing this rare rig. I believe less than 40 of these were produced. Learn more at the CJ-3B Page: https://cj3b.info/Fire/BlitzBuggy.html

This imperfect Marx toy seems a good price. Thanks to Tom for sharing. I haven’t seen a steering “box” on a Marx; I suspect it has been added.

“Antique Willy’s Jeep toy from 1940-1950. Front hood opens and windshield lowers. Listed below market value. Very well loved toy looking for new owner.”
I hadn’t heard that Bob had a new book out about the CJ-V35U, but discovered the book while looking for something else. So, I bought a copy. It’s 80 pages are devoted to this rare jeep. You can pick up a copy through Walck4x4.

Cool bit of info, but the price is steep! I especially like the flier.

“For sale is a vintage Pulaski Highway Motors, Willy’s Jeep Dealer, license plate topper, sales brochures and sales invoices. The topper has great color and graphics. The topper is 9 1/2″ x 3″. The papers are a nice piece of history.”
We (as in Ann and her son) managed to get lights up in time to beat the snowstorm which came through a few days ago. She’s done a great job! Tom Cruz approves!
Outside is frightful!
