✨ Features that will make you the talk of the town:
-Dazzling bronze color, because why settle for silver or gold when you can be bronze-tastic!
-Right-hand drive, because the left side is so last century.
-Equipped with a majestic horse hood ornament – because every Jeep dreams of being a stallion.
-Sliding doors for that extra touch of VIP entry (or exit).
-No AC, but fear not! We’ve included a small fan on the dashboard for your breezy delight.

? Mechanical Mysteries:
-Currently not running, but don’t let that stop your adventure! It ran strong when parked, like a marathon runner taking a nap.
-Easy to work on – even your grandma’s poodle could fix it (if it had opposable thumbs).
-Planned Non-Operation Status with no back fees – it’s practically on a postal vacation, sunbathing in the driveway.

? Price Tag:
For the low, low cost of $2,725, you can be the proud owner of this one-of-a-kind postal chariot. Who needs a luxury sedan when you can have a bronze beauty with a fan?

HAHA – Bonus points if you bring carrots for the horse hood ornament! ??”

March 1962 Jeep News

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

This eight-page-issue starts with jeeps at the Chicago Show (see page 2 for a wide-photo of the display). As part of my thoughts for a jeep museum, I envisioned a world in the center of a circular room (sort of like what is shown in the front page pic below) and rope attached between the earth, pointing to where a manufacturer was located, and the the other end of the rope connecting to the wall with images and pics related. Then, for more topical related items (such as the jeep’s use with coffee in Colombia) there would be smaller strings connecting the spot on the planet with information on the wall. The northern hemisphere would be on  a second floor and the southern hemisphere on the first floor. In my head it works, lol.

Page three has a reference about an FC that was taken to Alaska by Wells M. Fox and his sister Mrs. Leo J. Miller.

Pages four and five have many dealer references.

Pages six, seven, and eight show off a variety of jeep uses, including a tram setup pulled by an FC-170 with front wheel drive only. There were two of these trams made.

This Issue has another foldout, awkward center-page full of congrats this time dedicated to dealers who enjoyed a Nassau vacation. There is also a page celebrating the 51 jeeps used in the 1961 Presidential Inauguration parade. Another page is dedicated to Surreys. Finally, on the last page you’ll find a warning about a scam involving $90 Army jeeps!
