Josh forwarded this ad for a modified jeep. It’s not quite as nice as Wally Cohn’s, but you’ll still spend some time looking at it. Note the plow setup on the front.
Steve’s got his ‘weather block’ prepared for winter!
“With the days getting shorter, and the weather patterns starting to change, it’s time to set up my Weather Block. As you can tell, this photo was taken on a cloudy day. Here are the instructions I place in my kitchen so when I look out the window I will know how to interpret my weather block. What else do you do with an old Willys engine?
Dry Block – Fair weather
Shadow under Block – Sunny
No Shadow under Block – Cloudy
Wet Block – Rainy
Invisible block – Foggy
Swaying Block – Windy
Horizontal Block – Wind Storm
White block – Snowy
Bouncing Block – Earthquake
Water Flowing Around Block – Flood
Flashing Block – Thunder Storm
Missing Block – Tornado
My Weather Block even tells you the season:
Hot Block – Summer
Leaf Covered Block – Autumn
Cold Block – Winter
Grass Growing on Block – Spring
These photos were published in the Philadelphia Inquirer in July 27, 1943. In the top pic it looks like the driver jumped this off the end of a dock.
UPDATE: Was $175. **Status Unknown**

These pull toy jeep plans were published in the January 1944 issue of Popular Science by C.W. Bertsch.
In June of 1946, around 10,000 Veterans appeared at the Benicia armory in the hope of buying one of the 1,588 WWII jeeps for sale. The article was published in the June 25, 1946, issue of the Utica Daily Press (pg3).
Here’s a DJ-3A Dispatcher Ad from January 6,1956, published in the Herald Statesmen in Yonkers, NY. If you lived in Elmira, New York, you’d have seen the same ad, but with a price that was over $200 more ($1583)! Carmel, New York, had the best price at $1249.
This ad was published six years later in a 1962 issue of the Herald Statesman.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4950.
The motor is updated. Looks in good shape.
“This Willys is in great. Original wheels, tires, seats, body. The engine was swapped for a Ford Maverick inline 6 and had the brakes and steering upgraded. Which makes for a much better ride than the original flathead 4. This would be a great start for a full restoration or you might just be looking for a fun hobby and sunday cruiser. Either way it runs and drives beautifully.”
This CJ-5 will be auctioned on Friday, October 24th, in Pike County, Illinois.
