Circa mid-1940s Photos of Jeep Dealership SOLD

May 31, 2021 • CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on Ebay.

Given the lack of other models and the early signage, these early jeep dealership photos were likely taken between 1945 and 1947. At first I thought the dealer has signs in the window, but I think the “signage” is actually window paint images (note the different fonts used for ‘JEEP’ in the window images). There is a nice early OFFICIAL 1946 “J” signage on the front of the building.

“I believe upsate new york, love the mobil oil gargoyle sign as well.”
