This page-for-page reprint of a book that Jeep dealers used in the 1950s has two parts: (1) sales information including factory standard equipment and specifications for jeeps and (2) pictures and description of special optional equipment for Jeeps.
Part one includes comparisons of Jeeps to competitors, diagrams with dimensions, charts of specifications, descriptions of features, and tips for dealers to show off the adaptability and saleability of Jeep vehicles.
Part 2 lists special order equipment for Jeep customers. You’ll find tools and accessories from about 30 different manufacturers, including popular ones that you may have heard of, like Warn and Koenig, and also some obscure and interesting little brands. Although this equipment is mostly from manufacturers other than Jeep, the book itself was Jeep-factory made and was used by Jeep dealers to sell "approved Jeep equipment." It includes a section with factory accessories as well. You get a price list with part numbers for accessories that can be bought through the dealer. The book includes agricultural and industrial equipment as well as bodies. You will see a description for most pieces of equipment, which generally shows a picture and sometimes offers specifications; there are multiple brands and models to choose from for some of the equipment listed below in detail. While the majority of the 498-page book is devoted to the Willys CJ-3B, CJ-5, and truck, you’ll also see a few pieces of equipment for the Sedan Delivery/Station Wagon.
