Steve spotted this great advertising piece! Looks to be 29" wide and just about that much tall.

I'm sorry to report that Bruce Agan passed away after a short fight with cancer yesterday in Iowa.
We first exchanged emails in 2009. He generously shared a large amount of DJ-related info for eWillys readers. Over the ensuing years he became a go-to-guy for anything DJ-3A, Gala, or Surrey related. In 2012, he started the site http://www.jeepsurreygala.com, which contains a large amount of DJ info. I had hoped to stop by and visit with him during one of our trips, but I hadn't got the chance.
So, we bid a farewell to our good friend. Perhaps he's already busy discussing the finer points of the Surrey with Elvis. Here's the surrey that Bruce restored, one of several jeeps he owned.
"1961 Willys Jeep DJ3A Surrey Gala With a heavy heart, I am selling this vehicle for the widow of my closest friend. This street legal vehicle was originally designed for use at resorts and vacation clubs. Original pink color with redone pink and white interior and fringe canvas top. Vehicle is in good working order. Suspension has been redone with all new leaf springs, rebuilt brakes and new tires on all for corners. Original Go-Devil L134 4-cylinder engine runs strong with new carburetor. Original mechanical fuel pump has been replaced with an electrical pump. Fuel tank has been cleaned and coated. 3 speed column shift transmission in good working order. This Gala is fun to drive!"
"Vintage Pink Surrey Willies Overland Jeep CJ Wrangler Scale Metal Friction Model! Please view the images for condition.
Here we have an awesome tin friction car modeled after some old Jeep, not sure of the exact model. Friction motor was locking up at first but appears fine now and seems to work alright. Looks like there may have been a top over the passenger compartment at one time as there are six of the typical tin holes for extra parts to fit into on the rear of the jeep and the windshield frame. Overall great condition, might need some cleaning in the tight areas and does show some minimal wear. No maker mark or country of origin stamp on this one. Totally excellent jeep!!"
