February 1958 Willys News

This eight-page issue of Willys News is the last “Willys News”. In March of 1958, the name was changed to “Jeep News”, though under the banner the “Willys Motors, Inc.” moniker remains unchanged over subsequent years.

The first page makes a reference to a commercial that ran in 1958 highlighting the new M-274 Mechanical Mule. I tried to find that commercial on YouTube, but didn’t have any success.

Pages two and three is dominated by dealer news. Pages four and five covers the use of jeep vehicles by ATT and its affiliates. Page six features an article on the new Sacramento Jeep Club. Page seven is a potpourri of stories, while page eight discusses “wetter water” and its use with jeeps against red ants.

Listed as a 1941, it’s unclear how much WWII is here. The chassis looks to be 2A or later. Has some creative updates.

“This is an old original Army willy’s completely restored to brand new with led headlights, nice music system and new diesel engine. Very rare to find and won’t last very long.”
