This brochure showed a rare image of the FJ-3 in a jeep family brochure. This is Form No. DM61-01, the kick off of the animal series of brochures.
The Desert Sun published an ad highlighting the payload and wheel base of the FC-170 on October 11, 1962.
Anyone recognize the manufacturer or model of this hardtop? I noticed there were several models when going through the archives. Those long doors and the odd roof makes it distinctive. The way the front edges hug the curve of the CJ-5 top also make it distinctive.
1. CJ-5 sold out of Lebanon Oregon in 2013:
2. CJ-5 sold out of Boomton, NJ in 2016:
3. Jeep customized CJ-5/flattie sold out of Oakgrove, Minnesota, in 2018:
4. Possible example out of Cedar Falls, Iowa, in 2010:
UPDATE: Price dropped to $9500.
(01/02/2018) Check out the unique dash. There are a few interesting mods on this jeep.

It’s listed as a 1951 M-38, but looks more like an MB.

“Willys parts Jeep NO TITTLE! 1953 CJ3A engine runs but smokes. Body is very rusty, frame is in very good shape. Have most of the parts for Jeep like radiator and the gauges”
Given the top (which includes doors) there could be value here.

“I do have doors. Everything in the warehouse is for sale come take a look to 2619 Ventura Ave., Ventura, CA 93001 near OST and Stanley”
Jordan spotted this combo for sale. It includes a dual PTO. Seller mistakes the 2A for an M-38A1.

“* have a 1955 Jeep Willy wagon, in a 1955 Jeep cj2. I am selling them both of them as a package deal or separate. I am asking $3,200. Both Jeeps have original Transmissions. The Jeep cj2 no engine but original transmission with PTO. The Willys wagon original transmission with a 273 Chrysler Barracuda engine out of a 67. The 273 cranks over I haven’t had time yet to fiddle with the starter cuz it is dragging, I am told that it will start and run. Both of them are projects, could be a wonderful Father and Son project together. Have any questions message me”

Here’s some great early mud racing video from Yakima, Washington.
Just a few updates today.
Photos of this modified jeep located at the Auto & Technik Museum, in Sinsheim, Germany, were posted to the G-503 Facebook page. After some various guesses, Alexander Schingerlin explained how this was modified.
“Look what you see at the picture, a Lanz Tractor and a strange looking Willys. Gas was expensive in the years after war and someone put the complete unit – engine, transmission, in an Willys. Thats why the cooler is so high and the Engine so far in the front because of the long transmission of the tractor”
This is another modified German jeep, but this time it’s a CJ-3A located at the Budensee Museum in Uhldingen-Mühlhofen, Germany. Based on the Facebook caption, it appears to be a wood burning engine.
“(translation from German by Facebook) This Willys Jeep served until the mid-60 s a salary sawer, who moved from home to house. This vehicle prepares the fuel-eating glutton engine for users. What was the solution? Find out more on our historic wooden saw days on 13. and 14.10.2018.”
A French site credits Serge Hiltenfinck with owning (and probably restoring) this 1943 MB “Garage Sully”-branded tow jeep. This photo was taken as part of vintage car meet in Ostheim, Germany.
These two photos were posted to Flickr by Tobias Hartmann.
I didn’t realize the Buster Keaton had done multiple commercials for Jeep under the brand “Lessons In Living”. Here are three that I found:
1 At the end of this commercial Jeep highlights the Hong Kong and Maverick TV series:
2. This is the most common version I’ve seen on line:
3. You can depend on a service station jeep owner:
UPDATE: The press photo at the bottom of this post appeared in at least one newspaper, The Daily Banner out of Greencastle, Indiana, on September 4, 1944:
=========================
Original Post August 2014: How’d you like to be the person that drove the jeep to this iconic place?

This ad appears to have been on eBay for sale, but has since been sold. It popped up during a google search. The quality is poor as it wasn’t a smaller image, but I suspect this is a full page ad.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $45.
I have a similar setup on Patterson, but it’s a Allstate kit.
“Original Willy’s Jeep vacuum washer bag. Rubber is still pliable, bag holds water. Includes cap and vacuum tee. Price plus shipping.”
